Any manager, employee, servant, or other person who shall issue or aid in issuing a duplicate or additional receipt for cotton, knowing that the former receipt or any part thereof is outstanding, commits the offense of forgery in the first degree, provided that the party applying for a duplicate, upon the representation that the original has been lost or destroyed, may receive the same upon giving an indemnifying bond to the state warehouse commissioner to protect the commissioner against any loss that might occur thereby.
