(20 ILCS 1815/73) (from Ch. 129, par. 301)
Sec. 73. Whenever the sentence of a general court martial includes a fine, and such sentence has been approved by the Governor, The Adjutant General shall issue a warrant for the collection of such fine, directed to the sheriff of the county wherein the person against whom such fine is imposed resides, and such officer shall collect such fine in the same manner as he is authorized to collect debts in civil suits, and he shall make return within twenty days after receiving the warrant, to The Adjutant General. In default of the payment of the fine, or if the officer executing the warrant certifies that there is no property of the defendant out of which to satisfy the warrant, The Adjutant General shall issue a warrant of commitment directed to such sheriff, who shall forthwith take the defendant to the county jail and make return thereof to The Adjutant General.
The warrant of commitment for such default shall specify the amount in dollars of the fine, and the defendant shall remain in the custody of the keeper or warden of the county jail the same number of days as there are dollars of the fine unpaid.
Warrants for the collection of fines imposed by summary courts, and warrants for commitment for non-payment thereof, shall be issued by the officer appointing the summary court.
