Rule 134. JURY; VIEW OR INSPECTION

When, in the opinion of the court, it is advisable that the jury should view the place in which the offense was committed, or in which any other material fact occurred, it may order the jury to be conducted in a body, in the custody of a marshal, to the place, which must be shown to them by a person designated by the court for such purpose and said marshal must be sworn to suffer no person, including himself, to speak or communicate with the jury on any subject connected with the trial, and to return to the court with the jury, without unnecessary delay. Whenever an inspection is made the judge should always go with the jury to the place of the events.
