If the existence of the nuisance is admitted or established in an action under this chapter or in a criminal proceeding, an order of abatement shall be entered as a part of the judgment, which order shall direct the removal from the building or place of all fixtures, furniture, musical instruments and personal property used in conducting such nuisance, and shall direct the sale of so much thereof as belongs to any defendant notified or appearing, in the manner provided for the sale of chattels upon execution, and shall order the closing of the building or place and the discontinuance of its use for any purpose, for a period of one year, unless sooner released. Any owner of any unsold personal property so seized shall appear and claim the same within ten days after such order of abatement has been made, and prove innocence, to the satisfaction of the court, of any knowledge of such use. Each defendant in any such action shall be presumed to have had knowledge of the general reputation of such place. If innocence is established, any unsold personal property belonging to any person found innocent shall be delivered to him, otherwise it shall be sold as hereinbefore provided. If any person breaks and enters or uses any building or place so directed to be closed, he shall be punished for contempt as provided in section 19a-347. For removing and selling any such personal property, the officer shall receive the same fees as for levying upon and selling like property on execution, and for closing any such premises and keeping the same closed a reasonable sum shall be allowed by the court.
