Judgment affirmed.

Mr. JUSTICE SIMON delivered the opinion of the court:

The defendant was convicted of armed robbery and theft of 5000 pounds of nickel and 2000 pounds of copper from a corporate manufacturer. He contends that he was denied a speedy trial, that the armed robbery and theft charges were improperly joined with a bail-jumping charge and that at his jury trial he was stripped of the presumption of innocence. We affirm.
