ed.
The requirement for return within 3 days "unless for good cause
additional time, not exceeding 20 days is allowed" in the second
paragraph, was substituted for the provision of such section 455
which allowed 3 days for return if within 20 miles, 10 days if more
than 20 but not more than 100 miles, and 20 days if more than 100
miles distant.
Words "unless for good cause additional time is allowed" in the
fourth paragraph, were substituted for words "unless the party
petitioning requests a longer time" in section 459 of title 28,
U.S.C., 1940 ed.
The fifth paragraph providing for production of the body of the
detained person at the hearing is in conformity with Walker v.
