      corpus.
No person arrested upon such warrant shall be delivered  over  to  the
  agent whom the executive authority demanding him shall have appointed to
  receive him unless he shall first be taken forthwith before a justice or
  judge  of  a  court of record in this state, who shall inform him of the
  demand made for his surrender and of the crime with which he is charged,
  and that he has the right to demand and procure legal  counsel;  and  if
  the  prisoner  or his counsel shall state that he or they desire to test
  the legality of his arrest, the justice or judge of such court of record
  shall fix a reasonable time to be allowed within which to  apply  for  a
  writ  of  habeas corpus.  When such writ is applied for, notice thereof,
  and of the time and place of hearing thereon,  shall  be  given  to  the
  district attorney of the county in which the arrest is made and in which
  the accused is in custody, and to the said agent of the demanding state.
