If, within thirty days, the money or property recovered under Section 131.08 is claimed by any other person, it shall be retained by the custodian of it until after the discharge or conviction of the person from whom it was taken and so long as it is required as evidence in any case in court. If the claimant establishes to the satisfaction of the court that he is the rightful owner, the money or property shall be restored to him; otherwise it shall be returned to the accused person, personally, and not to any attorney, agent, factor or clerk of such accused person, except upon special order of the Mayor after all liens and claims in favor of the City have first been discharged and satisfied.
