§ 706. Cost and expense of removed criminal trials. Whenever the trial  of  an  indictment  has  been  transferred  from the county in which the  indictment was found to some other county, the cost and expense of  such  trial  shall  be  a  charge  upon the county in which the indictment was  found. Whenever under the order of any court of competent  jurisdiction,  the pleadings and issue in any prosecution for any crime or misdemeanor,  for  which  no indictment has been found, shall have been removed to any  other county in this state for trial  therein,  in  consequence  of  any  inability  to  obtain an unprejudiced or impartial jury in the county in  which the venue was originally laid, the expenses of the trial  of  said  prosecution  shall  be  a charge upon the county from which the same was  transferred. The cost and expense of trial of any prosecution, as  shown  by  the  certificate of the presiding judge or justice, shall be paid by  the county from which the transfer of  trial  was  made  to  the  county  treasurer of the county in which the trial was had.
