The testimony, which was strongly prima facie, was laid before the Governor of Utah, and by him submitted to the Governor of Dakota. The prisoner was committed to custody here to await the action of the latter Executive, and upon these facts and proceedings the accused presents his petition, denying the legality of his restraint and asking for his discharge.
