§ 12-1184. Disclaimer by garnishee - Interpleading interested party

When the answer of the garnishee shall disclose that any other

person than the defendant claims the indebtedness or property in his

hands, and the name and residence of such claimant, the court may,

on motion, order that such claimant be interpleaded, as a defendant

to the garnishee action; and that notice thereof, setting forth the

facts, with a copy of such order, in such form as the court shall

direct, be served upon him; and that after such service shall have

been made, the garnishee may pay or deliver to the officer or the

clerk such indebtedness or property, and have a receipt therefor,

which shall be a complete discharge from all liability to any party

for the amount paid or property so delivered. Such notice shall be

served in the manner required for service of a summons in a civil

action, and may be made without the state, or by publication

thereof, if the order shall so direct. Upon such service being

made, such claimant shall be deemed a defendant to the garnishee

action and within ten (10) days shall answer, setting forth his

claim or any defense which the garnishee might have made. In case

of default, judgment may be rendered, which shall conclude any claim

upon the part of such defendant.
