Whenever in the opinion of the court it is proper for the jury to have a view of the place in which any material fact occurred, it may order them to be conducted in a body, under charge of the bailiff, to the place which shall be shown to them by the bailiff, an individual appointed by the court, or both. While the jury are thus absent, no person other than the bailiff or individual appointed by the court shall speak to them on any subject connected with the trial.
