When any officer shall seize any property or thing, the same shall be safely kept by direction of the court so long as may be necessary for the purpose of being produced as evidence on any trial, and then the property or things shall, unless otherwise subject to lawful detention, be returned to the owner thereof, or to another person as may be entitled to the possession of the same, and the other things so seized may be disposed of in accordance with the direction of the courts. Any money found or seized from illegal gambling shall be paid to the General Fund of the city.
