Text

If any witness duly subpoenaed under the provisions of this chapter fails to attend as required, the judge before whom the writ of habeas corpus is returnable must endorse such failure on the back of the subpoena and deliver it to the clerk of the circuit court of the county in which the examination is had; and the same proceedings must be had thereon as against defaulting witnesses in that court, the endorsement being presumptive evidence of such default.
