The Prosecuting Attorney shall subscribe his name to informations filed in the District Court and endorse thereon the names and last-known addresses of all the witnesses known to him at the time of filing the same. Thereafter, he shall also endorse thereon the names and last-known addresses of such other witnesses as may afterwards become known to him, if they are intended to be called as witnesses at trial, at such time as the Court may by rule prescribe. All informations shall be verified by the oath of the Prosecuting Attorney, complainant or some other person.

Upon filing of a verified application by the Prosecuting Attorney, notice to defense counsel, and hearing establishing need for witness protection or preservation of the integrity of evidence, the District Court may excuse witness endorsement, or some part thereof. Such proceedings shall be conducted in camera, and the record shall be sealed and filed in the office of the District Court Clerk, and shall not be opened except by order of the District Court.
