STEWART, Judge.
A jury convicted defendant of manslaughter in the death of Ernest Whitfield. He was sentenced by the court to ten years imprisonment under The Second Offender Act § 556.280 RSMo 1969.
On this appeal defendant contends that (1) the evidence was insufficient to submit the cause to the jury; (2) the court erred in permitting a State’s witness to testify to threats made to her because the threats were not linked to defendant; (3) the court erred in refusing to permit defendant to call a witness in surrebuttal; and (4) in refusing to give an instruction on self-defense.
