And the said justices, judges, and other
officers, shall use in the premises the same process and proceedings,
_mutatis mutandis_, and govern themselves by the same principles and
rules of law, as in cases of murder committed on the high seas.
And the manner of demand by the United States and of compliance by
the Spanish government shall be as follows. The person authorized by a
justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, or by the district
judge where the murder was committed, to pursue the fugitive, may apply
to ---------
Evidence on oath, though written and _ex parte_, shall have the same
weight with the judge and grand jury in the preceding cases, as if the
same had been given before them orally and in presence of the prisoner.
The courts of justice of the said States and provinces, shall be
reciprocally open for the demand and recovery of debts due to any person
inhabiting the one, from any person fled therefrom and found in the
other, in like manner as they are open to their own citizens; likewise,
for the recovery of the property, or the value thereof, carried away
from any person inhabiting the one, by any person fled therefrom and
found in the other, which carrying away shall give a right of civil
action, whether the fugitive came to the original possession lawfully
or unlawfully, even feloniously; likewise, for the recovery of damages
sustained by any forgery committed by such fugitive.
