§ 1-12-107 — Attachment of witness who disobeys subpoena

When a witness fails to attend in obedience to a subpoena, the
court or officer before whom his attendance is required may
issue an attachment to the sheriff of the county commanding him
to arrest and bring the person named before the court at a time
and place fixed in the attachment, to give his testimony and
answer for the contempt. If the attachment is not for
immediately bringing the witness before the court or officer, a
sum may be fixed in which the witness may give bond with surety
for his appearance. The sum shall be endorsed on the back of the
attachment. If no sum is fixed and endorsed, it shall be one
hundred dollars ($100.00). If the witness was not personally
served, the court may order him to show cause why an attachment
should not issue against him.
