Brown v. Lowry, 185 Ga. 539, 195 S.E. 759 (1937); Frazier v. Grimes, 221 Ga. 375, 145 S.E.2d 39 (1965).

sentenced, the person thereby becomes a fugitive from justice within the meaning of U.S. Const., Art. IV, Sec. II. King v. Mount, 196 Ga. 461, 26 S.E.2d 419 (1943). Extradition of convict whose parole revoked. - Paroled convict whose parole has been revoked because of a violation of the conditions of parole may be extradited from one state to another on the ground that the convict is a convict whose sentence has not expired and who therefore is charged with a crime.
