demanding state.

Any person arrested in this state charged with having committed

any crime in another state or alleged to have escaped from

confinement, or broken the terms of his bail, probation or parole

may waive the issuance and service the warrant provided for in

Section 7 and 8 and all other procedure incidental to extradition

proceedings, by executing or subscribing in the presence of a judge

of any court of record within this state a writing which states that

he consents to return to the demanding state; provided, however,

that before such waiver shall be executed or subscribed by such

person it shall be the duty of such judge to inform such person of

his rights to the issuance and service of a warrant of extradition

and to obtain a writ of habeas corpus as provided for in Section 10.

If and when such consent has been duly executed it shall forthwith

be forwarded to the office of the Governor of this state and filed

therein. The judge shall direct the officer having such person in

custody to deliver forthwith such person to the duly accredited

agent or agents of the demanding state, and shall deliver or cause

to be delivered to such agent or agents a copy of such consent;

provided, however, that nothing in this section shall be deemed to

limit the rights of the accused person to return voluntarily and

without formality to the demanding state, nor shall this waiver

procedure be deemed to be an exclusive procedure or to limit the

powers, rights or duties of the officers of the demanding state or

of this state.
