Admissibility of summoned statements permits their use when maker is unavailable or court admits in interest of justice.

Statements made and signed in response to a summons under section 70 are admissible in prosecution to prove their contents when the maker is unavailable to give evidence (dead, cannot be found, incapable, kept away, or presence would cause unreasonable delay or expense), or when the maker is examined as a witness and the court admits the statement in the interest of justice.
