(1)Any person owing debts to the defendant, or having in his possession or under his

control any personal property belonging to the defendant, may be required to appear

before the court and be examined on oath regarding such property.

(2)If the person ordered to appear pursuant to this section fails to appear, the court may

as in cases of contempt punish a disobedience.

(3)After such examination, if the person admits that he is indebted to the defendant, or

that he holds property belonging to the defendant, the court may order that such

debt or property belonging to the defendant be attached in the manner and under the

conditions provided by this chapter and that any amount owing be paid to the

levying officer. If the person admits that he holds property which belongs to the

defendant and in which he claims no interest the court may order that such property

be delivered to the levying officer on such terms as may be just.
