Gordon, J.
(dissenting). I must respectfully dissent. This court is not in a fair position to explore the debatable facts involved in the alleged unconstitutionality of the Indiana warrant of arrest. There is indeed doubt whether the Indiana proceedings were proper, but such doubt should be resolved in the Indiana courts, not in the Wisconsin supreme court. Their proceedings are prima facie valid, and since the claimed defect is not entirely clear from the face of the documents, we should not purport to resolve this question. State ex rel. Krueger v. Michalski (1957), 1 Wis. (2d) 644, 85 N. W. (2d) 339; Kojis v. Barczak (1953), 264 Wis. 136, 58 N. W. (2d) 420.
As tardy conformists to the requirements of the United States constitution recognized by us in State ex rel. White v. Simpson (1965), 28 Wis. (2d) 590, 137 N. W. (2d) 391, we should be particularly reluctant to assume that a sister state still fails to recognize the light which we so recently observed.
I am authorized to state that Mr. Chief Justice Currie joins in this dissent.
