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.
