Section 17-12-24 Penalty for failure to make returns. If any officer required to make returns
of any election to the Secretary of State or to the Speaker of the House of Representatives

hundred dollars ($500), recoverable by motion to be made by the district attorney of the proper

Section 12-21-225 Testimony for state or defendant by convict. (a) The presiding judge of any
circuit court or district court having reason to believe that the testimony of any convict
serving a sentence in the penitentiary or to hard labor for the county is necessary in any
criminal prosecution for the state and that other evidence cannot be obtained on behalf of
the state may order a writ to be issued by the clerk, commanding the Board of Corrections
to have the convict before the court on a specified day to give testimony in the particular
case for the state. Moreover, upon the sworn petition of the defendant in a criminal prosecution
showing that a convict serving sentence in the penitentiary knows facts which would be beneficial
to him, the judge may, if he believes the ends of justice will be served thereby, order the
issuance of such a writ to secure the appearance of the convict to testify on behalf of the
defendant. The writ shall be served on the board at least one week...

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. (Code 1852, §743; Code 1867, §4294; Code 1876,
