All parties to any case pending from time to time in the Municipal Court of the City of Garnett, Kansas, shall be entitled to the use of subpoenas to compel attendance of witnesses within the State. The Municipal Judge or clerk shall issue a subpoena which may be served by any law enforcement officer upon the named person. Disobedience may constitute contempt. Fees and mileage of witnesses shall be fixed by the City Commission from time to time by simple resolution and shall be established on the basis of a per diem, or any part thereof, for appearance at court and for a rate per mile to compensate the witness for miles actually driven. The fees and mileage thus determined for attendance of witnesses shall be borne by the party calling the witness, except that if an accused person is found not guilty, the City shall pay all such expenses; provided, however, the Municipal Judge may direct that fees and mileage of witnesses subpoenaed by the accused person be charged against such person if the Judge finds that there has been an abuse of the use of subpoenas by the accused person.
