The officer granting an attachment may issue duplicate writs to any other county in which the defendant may have property or debts due him, which writs shall be returnable to the court to which the original is returnable, and shall be executed and returned in like manner. Where the attachment has not been executed, or where no property has been found, or not sufficient to satisfy the debt, or where the plaintiff desires to garnish other persons, the clerk of the court to which same is returnable may issue alias writs to the same or other counties without a renewal bond or affidavit.
