It is not a question of possession in the foreign state, for possession cannot be taken of a debt or of the obligation to pay it, as tangible property might be taken possession of. Notice to the [garnishee] of the commencement of the suit, and notice not to pay to [the garnishment debtor], is all that can be given....
