Text

The answer of the garnishee shall in all cases be conclusive of the truth of the facts therein stated, and if it denies liability the proceeding against such garnishee shall be deemed discontinued, unless the plaintiff shall within thirty days serve upon the garnishee a notice in writing that he elects to take issue on his answer. In such case the issue shall stand for trial as a civil action in which the affidavit on the part of the plaintiff shall be deemed a complaint and the garnishee's affidavit the answer thereto. Nothing herein contained, however, shall permit raising of any issue when the state is garnishee defendant.
