State v. McCrary, 365 Mo. 799, 287 S.W.2d 785. (1959) Absence of defendant's counsel from courtroom at time verdict was returned violated no constitutional right of defendant. State v.

(1961) Defendant was not deprived of constitutional right to appear and defend in person where he was represented by competent counsel throughout all stages of trial and was personally present at all times except when voluntarily absent for short time during proceedings in chambers when record of prior convictions was presented to judge under second offender law. State v. Colbert (Mo.), 344 S.W.2d 115. (1967) Accused's presence is not necessary during proceedings which are not part of the trial, such as preliminary or formal proceedings or motions which do not affect his guilt or innocence. State v. Durham (MO.), 416 S.W.2d 79.
