State v. . Hines

Opinion of the Court

Stacy, C. J.

At the November Term, 1932, Forsyth Superior Court, Eugene Hines was tried upon an indictment charging him with the murder of one Lacy "Weatherspoon, which resulted in a conviction and sentence of death. The prisoner gave notice of appeal to the Supreme Court, but this has not been prosecuted as required by the rules, albeit he was allowed to appeal in forma pauperis, and was given sixty days from 17 November within which to make out and serve statement of case on appeal, and the solicitor was allowed sixty days thereafter to prepare and file exceptions or countercase.

*508 Apparently nothing has been done on behalf of the prisoner to perfect his appeal. The case should have been ready for argument at the call of the Eleventh District, 4 April, 1933, the district to which it belongs. The motion of the State will be allowed. Judgment

Affirmed. Appeal dismissed.
