CHAPTER 209--EXTRADITION
Sec. 3188. Time of commitment pending extradition
Whenever any person who is committed for rendition to a foreign
government to remain until delivered up in pursuance of a requisition,
is not so delivered up and conveyed out of the United States within two
calendar months after such commitment, over and above the time actually
required to convey the prisoner from the jail to which he was committed,
by the readiest way, out of the United States, any judge of the United
States, or of any State, upon application made to him by or on behalf of
the person so committed, and upon proof made to him that reasonable
notice of the intention to make such application has been given to the
Secretary of State, may order the person so committed to be discharged
out of custody, unless sufficient cause is shown to such judge why such
discharge ought not to be ordered.
