"For actual attendance at the place of trial or hearing and for the 
time necessarily occupied in going to and from such place at the begin-

day, except that any juror required to attend more than thirty da^jrs in 
hearing one case may be paid in the discretion and upon the certifica-
tion of the trial judge a per diem fee not exceeding $14 for each day

"For the distance necessarily traveled to and from a juror's residence 
by the shortest practicable route in going to and returning from the 
place of service at the beginning and at the end of the term of service 
10 cents per mile; and for additional necessary daily or other interim 
travel during the term of service the juror shall be allowed for such 
travel 10 cents per mile, but not to exceed the subsistence allowance 
which would have been paid him if he had remained at the place of 
holding court overnight or during temporary recess, and if daily 
travel appears impracticable, subsistence of $10 ;per day shall be 
allowed, including the time necessarily occupied in going to and 
returning from the place of attendance. Whenever in any case the 
jury is ordered to be kept together and not to separate, the cost of 
subsistence during such peri(xi shall be paid by the United States 
marshal upon the order of the court in lieu of the foregoing sub-
sistence allowance. 
"Jury fees and travel and subsistence allowances provided by this 
section shall be paid by the United States marshal on the certificate of 
the clerk of the court, and in the case of jury fees in excess of $10 per 
diem, when allowed as hereinabove provided, on the certificate of the 
trial judge."
