When an affidavit is filed by any person interested in the estate, alleging that any person has, or that the affiant has good reason to and does verily believe that any person has, any property, goods, chattels, bills of exchange, promissory notes, credits, or effects of the assignor or assignors in his possession or under his control, or has knowledge of any of the property or effects of the assignor or assignors, the court may cite any such person to appear for examination. Such person may be examined, upon oath, in all respects, as to such matters as the assignor or assignors may be required to appear and be examined upon under the provisions of this chapter. The court may make any order with respect to any property or effects, found or disclosed to be in the possession or under the control of such person, which it might make with respect to property or effects in the possession of an assignor, and may enforce obedience to its orders in the premises in like manner.
