MAY GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
Justice Wright Inclined to Be
Lenient With James McNamara.

One fall from grace on the part Of a
seyenteep-year-old boy is not considered
by Justice Wright as an indication that
the boys case is hopeless. When James
Mcnamara was brought before the justice
In Criminal Court No. l for violating his
parole given Justice Wright last Febru-
airy, Assistant United States Attorney
Turner suggested the boy be sent to the
reform school.
The court spoke of his strong aversion
to sending the boy there unless it could
not be helped. He directed that Nc
Namara be released on his personal
bonds until Thursday. by which time the
court will determine what to do with the
boy.
Mcnamara was convicted last February,
with Edward Richards, of stealing a
quantity of rope from the government
wharf Richards went to the penitenti-
airy, but because of Mcnamara youth
Justice Wright admitted him to proba-
tion. Recently a watch was stolen from
a clubhouse on the water front. and Nc
Namara was charged with the theft. He
was convicted in the Police Court, where
sentence was suspended pending the &C
ton Of Justice Wright on the broken
parole.
Justice Wright int!mated strongly that
he was inclined TO give the boy another
chance. James was in tears, begging for
leniency.

NEAR THE MELON SEASON.
Growers Will Begin to Load Vessels
This Week.

The first cargoes of watermelons to be
brought here this season by vessel from
North Carolina and southern Virginia are
expected to arrive here in the latter part Of
the coming week, and preparations are
being made at the 18th street wharf to
receive them. Letters received by COM
mission men at the 18th street wharf
market from the growers state that the
melons are ripening fast, and that they
will begin loading vessels in the latter
part of this week, and by the end Of
the coming week they should be here and
unloading. The letters also bring the
cheering information that in spite Of the
dry spring and summer the melons will
be up to the average both in quantity and
quality, and the first that arrive on the
market will bring good prices.
WatermelonS have been on sale for two
weeks or longer, but they are brought to
the market here by rail from Georgia and
the Carolinas, and lack the sweetness of
the melons from the farms along the
tributaries of the Chesapeake, which are
brought to the market here by vessel The
watermelon season generally lasts until
frost comes. and 1T is not uncommon
sight to see melon and oyster laden craft
lying side by side at the wharf market.
