John D. Ashcroft, Atty. Gen., Paul Robert Otto, Asst. Atty. Gen., Jefferson City, for plaintiff-respondent.


GUNN, Judge.

Defendant was convicted of escaping before conviction in violation of § 557.390 R.S.Mo.1969; the sentence was two years imprisonment. Two points are raised upon appeal: (1) that the trial court erred in requiring two defense witnesses to appear before the jury in leg shackles; and, (2) that the trial court erred in failing to give prompt effect to writs of habeas corpus ad testificandum issued for two defense witnesses. We affirm the judgment.
