If a witness goes into hiding so as to evade service of a subpoena upon him, the court may, upon proof by affidavit of the concealment of the witness and of the relevancy of his testimony, make an order directing that subpoena be served by the marshal, who must serve it accordingly, and, for that purpose, may search any building or property where the witness may be hiding.
