To the Sheriff of Lincoln County Washington Territory,
It being known to me that one S.P. White is confined in the jail of Yakima county by virtue of a warrant of commitment directed to you, commanding you to imprison the said S.P. White in said jail, without privilege of bail and await trial in the District Court holding terms at Yakima City, for the offense of murder committed, if committed at all, in the county of Lincoln; and it appearing to me that the proper place of trial for said offense is in the District Court holding terms at Cheney, in Spokane County,
Now therefore, on motion of S.C. Hyde, prosecuting attorney for the counties of Spokane, Lincoln and Stevens, you are commanded immediately upon receipt hereof, that the body of the said S.P. White under safe and sure conduct, by whatsoever name he may be charged and held, you bring, together with the day and cause at his being taken and confined, so that he be and appear before the District Court of Washington Territory for the Fourth Judicial District of said territory, to be held at Cheney, in the county of Spokane on the thirteenth day of April next ensuing, there to answer before said court to said charge of murder, and to do and receive, all and singular, those things which the said court shall then and there consider of him in that behalf. And have you then and there this writ.
