Appeals may be allowed as in civil cases, but the possession of monies, funds, properties or assets being so unlawfully used shall be prima facie evidence that it is the properties, funds, monies or assets of the person so using it. Where said monies, funds, properties or assets are sold or otherwise ordered forfeited under the provisions of this act the proceeds shall be disbursed and applied as follows:
First. To the payment of the costs of the forfeiting proceedings and actual expenses of preserving the properties.
Second. One-eighth (1/8) of the proceeds remaining to the public official, witness, juror or other person to whom the bribe was given, provided such public official, witness, juror or other person had theretofore voluntarily surrendered the same to the sheriff of the county and informed the proper officials of the bribery or attempted bribery.
Third. One-eighth (1/8) to the district attorney prosecuting the case.
Fourth. The balance to the county treasurer to be credited by him to the court fund of the county.
