The copy shall be as effectual in the hands of any officer, and he shall proceed in the same manner under it, as though he held an original warrant issued by the magistrate making the endorsement.
B. Every officer causing a telegraphic or telephonic copy of a warrant to be sent, shall certify as correct and file in the telegraph or telephone office from which such copy is sent, a copy of the warrant and endorsement thereon, and shall return the original with a statement of his action thereunder.
