Virginia Requisition Refused in Coppee Arrest Case
Iowa Governor Samuel J. Birkwood explains why he rejected Virginia’s demand to arrest Barclay Coppee as a fugitive. He cites an invalid affidavit sworn before a Notary, lack of magistrate, and lawful precedents, noting not all legal requirements were met and stressing state sovereignty and due process limitations.
