The constitution of the United States provides: "2. A person charged
in any state with treason, felony, or other crime, who shall flee from
justice and be found in another state, shall, on demand of the
executive authority of the state from which he fled, be delivered up,
to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime.
No person held to service or labor in one state, under the laws
thereof, escaping into another state, shall, in consequence of any law
or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but
shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or
labor may be due."[289]
