   Every person having in his custody or power, or under his restraint, a
   party who by the provisions of law relating to habeas corpus, would be

   avoid the effect thereof, transfers the party to the custody, or
   places him under the power or control of another, or conceals or
   changes the place of his confinement, or who, without lawful excuse,
   refuses to produce him, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
