The application shall state the name of the person wanted, the crime with which he is charged, and the approximate time, place, and circumstances of its commission. It shall also specify the state in which he is believed to be and his probable location in that state at the time the application is made. The application shall recommend a peace officer or other person as agent to receive the accused. It shall certify that, in the opinion of the district attorney the ends of justice require the arrest and return of the accused to this state for trial and that the proceeding is not instituted to enforce a private claim.
