Description
In 1955 in Phelps County the appellant Lester King was charged with robbery in the first degree. After a change of venue he was tried in November 1955 in the Circuit Court of Cole County, found guilty and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. In February 1962, it was charged in the Circuit Court of Cole County, in a good and sufficient information, that on December 24, 1961, while serving the sentence of 15 years imprisonment in the penitentiary, Lester King, acting in concert with Rollie Laster (Lassiter), Jacob E. Weinrich and Thomas E. Rea, "did unlawfully and feloniously attempt to escape therefrom and go at large by then and there forcing one John Iven by threats of bodily harm to drive a truck through the Penitentiary yard and attempting to have the said John Iven drive the truck through the Penitentiary gates and outside of the Penitentiary confines, but that the said Lester King failed in his attempt to escape from the Penitentiary, against the peace and dignity of the State." RSMo 1959, Sec. 557.351 (Laws Mo. 1959, H.B. No. 10; Laws Mo. 1961, p. 331); State v. Johnson, 93 Mo. 317, 6 S.W. 77. Again upon a change of venue to Montgomery County, King was tried on the charge of attempting to escape from the penitentiary, found guilty and sentenced to four years imprisonment and it is from this sentence and judgment that he appeals.
