““ . . .In order to sustain a conviction for breaking the county jail and escaping it is not necessary to prove that the defendant personally cut the bars of the jail door. Defendant was charged singly and in joint concert with breaking the county jail and escaping. It is well settled that; party may be charged with the commission of the felony and be held under such charge for being present and participating in concert with the others in the commission of the crime, or for being present and aiding and assisting another in doing it. It is not necessary that he, personally, have done all the things which together make up the elements of the crime. State v. Sheard, Mo.Sup., 276 S.W.2d 196 , certiorari denied, 352 U.S. 849 , 77 S.Ct. 68 , 1 L.Ed.2d 60 ; State v. Whitaker, Mo.Sup., 275 S.W.2d 316 ; State v. Chernick, Mo.Sup., 278 S.W.2d 741 .””
