ยง 570.34 Arrest of accused without warrant therefor.
The arrest of a person in this state may be lawfully made also by any
police officer or a private person, without a warrant, upon reasonable
information that the accused stands charged in the courts of another
state with a crime punishable by death or imprisonment for a term
exceeding one year; but when so arrested the accused must be taken
before a local criminal court with all practicable speed and complaint
must be made against him under oath setting forth the ground for the
arrest as in the preceding section; and, thereafter, his answers shall
be heard as if he had been arrested on a warrant.
