In case the governor does not act by pardoning the prisoner, or the board of parole by paroling the prisoner, by the first day of the next term of court, then it is the duty of the judge to put into execution the sentence and judgment of the court, by delivering, or causing to be delivered, the prisoner to the proper authorities for the execution of the sentence.
