(a) The names of those desired as witnesses may in any case be endorsed upon the warrant. In lieu of such endorsement, the Recorder may issue a subpoena for any witness. Any witness, properly summoned, pursuant to endorsement of the warrant, summons or any subpoena, who fails or refuses to attend the trial or to testify, may be proceeded against as for a contempt. The Municipal Court Judge may issue a warrant to compel attendance of such witness.
(b) When such witness has been brought before the Municipal Court, he shall be informed on the default of which he is charged, and given an opportunity to show cause; if and he can, why he should not be punished for a contempt committed before a Magistrate.
(c) The fine shall not exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) or imprisonment of five (5) days, or both fine and imprisonment.
