     611.05 Continuance; effect; bail.  

    When the defendant is not indicted or tried as herein 
 provided, and good reasons therefor are shown, the court may 
 order the action continued from term to term, and in the 
 meantime commit the defendant, or, in case the offense is 
 bailable, admit the defendant to bail, on the defendant's 
 furnishing satisfactory sureties.  When the action is dismissed, 
 the defendant shall be discharged from custody, or, if admitted 
 to bail, the bail shall be exonerated, and, if money has been 
 deposited for bail, that shall be refunded.
