assets.

The court having jurisdiction of the monies, funds, properties

or assets so seized upon conviction of the person, firm, or

corporation charged, shall, without a jury, order an immediate

hearing as to whether the monies, funds, properties or assets so

seized were being used for unlawful purposes, and take such legal

evidences as are offered on each behalf and determine the same as in

civil cases. Should the court find from a preponderance of the

testimony that the monies, funds, properties or assets so seized

were being used for the violation of the bribery laws of the State

of Oklahoma, it shall render judgment accordingly and declare said

monies, funds, properties or assets forfeited to the State of

Oklahoma. Thereupon, said properties or assets shall, under the

order of said court, be sold by the officer having the same in

charge, after ten (10) days' notice published in a daily newspaper

of the county wherein said sale is to take place, or if no daily

newspaper is published in said county, then by posting five notices

in conspicuous places in the city or town wherein such sale is to be

made; and if the same is money or a fund, or of such nature as being

negotiable and sale unnecessary, then such money, fund or negotiable

property shall be held by the officer having charge of same, until

disposed of in accordance with the provisions of this act. All

sales of property and assets hereunder shall be for cash.
