Representative Springer's friends are
making d desperate fight to keep him at

A VERY SENTIMENTAL CROOK.
A Rascal who Makes Love. but ships
without Paw Ing hoard Bills.

Harry Melville, the white man who was
before the Police Court yesterday to an
swer a charge of stealing $25 in currency
and a gold watch from Mr.. Shaw Stewart,
appears to be a notorious ssharper II the

ton which shows that tho accused

Melville. who WAS arrested near Newport
News Wednesday and brought to Rich
mond by Officer Hall on the following
dav, was IN this city at the time OF the
Davis interment. While bore he wrote the
young lady q most remarkable note. de-
claring his desperate love tor her and con-
Tossing that he was a crook.
The epistle. it must be admitted. was
written in excellent English. and it is evil
dent that Melville is well educated. and.
moreover. has large vocabulary. Strange
to say, the letter was almost entirely de-
void Of punctuation. but the composition.
in most instances. was so good that 1t
scarcely needed any.
The communication wos entirely re-
spectful and full OF romance and ardent
ayowals of love. 1t read almost as If 1t

sensational papers which so often attract
the public.
