When proof is made to any committing magistrate that a person previously released on the execution of an appearance bail bond with one or more sureties is about to abscond, and that his bail is insufficient, the committing magistrate shall require such person to give better security or, for default thereof, cause him to be committed. An order for his arrest may be endorsed on the former commitment, or a new warrant therefor may be issued, by such committing magistrate, setting forth the cause thereof.
