*32MR. JUSTICE GROVES
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent.
In California the court ordered that the sentence of the defendant be served in Iowa. After the Iowa reversal, California sought extradition in Iowa. Iowa released him on bond pending determination of the extradition proceedings and he was legally in Colorado when arrested here.
He was not a fugitive. He was not in violation of any order. He was not untried under any charge. I find nothing in our statutes nor in the United States and Colorado Constitutions to authorize Colorado to return the defendant to California under the present proceedings.
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE PRINGLE authorizes me to say that he joins in this dissent.
