The nonresident, absent or absconding debtor shall be made a party to such suit by publication of summons as in other cases, and may appear and plead, demur or answer to the bill without giving security. If such debtor fails to appear, the court shall have power to make any necessary orders to restrain the defendants within this state from paying, conveying away or secreting the debts by them owing, or the effects in their hands belonging to, the nonresident, absent or absconding defendant, and may order such debts to be paid or such effects to be delivered to the complainant on his giving security for the return thereof in such manner as the court may direct.
