§ 25. Witness exempt from arrest. A person duly and in good faith
subpoenaed or ordered to attend, for the purpose of being examined, in a
case where his attendance may lawfully be enforced by attachment or by
commitment, is privileged from arrest in a civil action or special
proceeding, while going to, remaining at, and returning from, the place

provisions of this section, is absolutely void and is a contempt of the

witness was directed to attend.
