Robin Hemingray in jail

ROBIN HEMINGRAY'S

CAREER AS A PLUNGER

MUNCIE YOUTH WHO SPENT

FORTUNE ON THE RACES

NOW IN JAIL AT CINCINNATI

[Special to The Indianapolis News.]

MUNCIE, Ind., — October 20. Robin Hemingray, the Muncie young man who less than two years ago was betting thousands of dollars on a single race in which he was interested and who owned then a racing stable of thoroughbreds, is how in jail in Cincinnati, serving out a sentence of thirty days and will probably have to spend a much longer time than that in prison owing to inability to pay a fine of $100. Hemingray's wealthy rela­tives in Muncie and elsewhere have thus far refused to go to his aid, and his boast to the police who arrested him that the "jail wouldn't hold him longer than an hour" seems likely to be a mere boast. Of all the friends on whom, in his palmy days, the young man (he is now only twenty-seven) had lavished his thou­sands, not one came to pay a board bill of $60. His arrest was due to his failure to pay this bill.

A Tragedy In California.

Nearly two years ago Hemingray, with his racing stable, went to San Francisco, accompanied by Miss Charlotte Campiglio, a beautiful Southern girl. In San Francisco the girl, becoming despondent because she thought Hemingray was go­ing to desert her, shot herself and was found dead. Hemingray was arrested, it being charged that he left his revolver where the girl could easily obtain it, but as no convicting evidence was found against him, he was released. However, his horses were then ruled off the Cali­fornia tracks and his downward career dated from that time. Nevertheless, within the last year he has been in Muncie giving champagne suppers to well-known society people and leading a gay life.
