Description
Defendant was charged under the Habitual Criminal Act with escaping from the Missouri Penitentiary where he was confined.
The trial court made the necessary findings with reference to a prior conviction and the jury found defendant guilty of escape
as charged. The court then sentenced defendant to imprisonment for three years. His motion for a new trial was overruled and
he appeals. The evidence will support this narration of facts: On September 11, 1965, defendant was lawfully confined in the Missouri
State Penitentiary at Jefferson City. He was serving two consecutive five-year sentences for burglary and for grand stealing,
imposed in 1963. On the date charged, officials discovered that two inmates, one of whom was defendant, were missing and they
found a tunnel leading from beneath the floor of "D" dormitory to a point outside the prison wall.
