HITE, THE MURDERER.
A Graphic Picture Of the Miserable
Wretch Whose Last Hope is Gone.

BOYDTON, VA, Dec. 6.-Special.-The
Court of Appeals having affirmed the de-
cision of the County Court of Mecklen-
burg which convicted George w. Hite
of the murder of William Bowers. leaves
the prisoner without hope from the gal
lows. unless the Governor interferes. This
decision is doubles a surprise to Hite,
who has ali along hoped that through
some good fortune he might escape the
gallows.
The condemned man has been restless
for some time, in consequence OF not
having heard from his case. He told the
colored porter at the jail few mornings
since that he could not understand why
ne did not hear from his case, and furth-
er said. that he was not going TO eat any
thing more until he did hear
The last act In the drama has ended
and the doomed man now stands face 10
face with death. His faithful counsel
Mr. c. T. Reekes. did not inform him
until yesterday Of the action OF the Court
of Appeals. Mr.. 'Reekes said he shrank
from so painful a task and on that &C
count had delayed doing so.
Hite. strangely enough, has maintained
the same stoicism and steady nerve which
has characterized him during his tedious
trial and Imprisonment in jail. When
told by his counsel of the final decision
of the Court of Appeals he said, well.
/ suppose everything has been done that
can be done" He afterwards told one
OF the jail attendants, that it was
solemn thing to die. particularly for one
who had lived as long as he had, to have
his neck broken.
While Hite is a cold and hearrless TEL
low, sour and morose in the extreme and
while there are no extenuating circum-
stancs in connection with this horrible
crime of which he stands charged ne Is
nevertheless an object Of confederation
and excites sympathy as he Is seen lylns
stretched upon his bed in his cherries
cell and remembering that he Is an old
Confederate, who Is said 10 have been a
soldier who fought through the war, ana
who Is now over sixty years OF age. thin,
pale and haggard. by reason OF his long
and dreary confinement without money
and without friends. lothed, disposed and
feared by his neighbors. with not one
friendly hand to even offer word or
comfort in his trying hour. Nor VIII
one sympathetic tear be shed over his
grave Such is the condition of this
wretched man, which IS indeed a sad and
pitiable one.
Judge Homes OF the County Court Of
Mecklenburg. has received no official noti-
fication OF the action Of the Court or
Appeals, and will not therefore take any
steps looking to the re-sentence OF Hite
until the papers in the case are received
which will probably be in a few days.
