(a) A jury shall be summoned for the purpose of making the inquiry in the same manner that petit jurors are summoned in the circuit court for other purposes when the circuit court is regularly in session. If the hearing is before the judge out of term time, then the jury shall be summoned on order of the judge by the sheriff of the county. (b) The inquiry and assessment shall be made at the time appointed unless for good cause it is continued to another day to be specified. Acts 1935, No. 163, § 5; Pope's Dig., § 9969; A.S.A. 1947, § 35-805.
