- Sworn officer.
The jurors sworn to try an indictment or information, may, at
any time before the submission of the cause to the jury, in the
discretion of the court, be permitted to separate, or to be kept in
charge of proper officers.  The officers must be sworn to keep the
jurors together until the next meeting of the court, to suffer no
person to speak to or communicate with them, nor to do so
themselves, on any subject connected with the trial, and to return
them into court at the next meeting thereof.  Such officer or
officers having once been duly sworn, it is not necessary that they
be resworn at each recess or adjournment.  An admonition to the
officer and the jury shall be sufficient.
