§ 270.45  Trial jury; when separation permitted.
    During  the period extending from the time the jurors are sworn to the
  time they retire to deliberate upon their verdict, the court may in  its
  discretion   either   permit   them  to  separate  during  recesses  and
  adjournments or direct that they be continuously  kept  together  during
  such  periods  under the supervision of an appropriate public servant or
  servants.  In the latter case, such public servant or servants  may  not
  speak  to or communicate with any juror concerning any subject connected
  with the trial nor permit any other person to do so, and must return the
  jury to the court room at the next designated trial session.
