ROBIN HEMINGRAY
LANDS IN JAIL
MUNCIE YOUNG MAN APPARENTLY
IS WITHOUT MONEY.
(Special to the Press.)
Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 17. — Robert Hemingray, giving Muncie, Ind., as his home, the son of a glass manufacturer now dead, and a member of an excellent family of Kentucky, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective Kinkead on complaint of Manager Jack Ryland, of the Honing hotel. It is claimed Hemingray ran up a bill of about $40 at the hotel and neglected to pay it. He was locked up at central police station on a charge of obtaining lodging with intent to defraud.
When he was arrested he laughed and said the "police would not keep him locked up an hour." No one could be found to go bond for him. Hemingray a few years ago had considerable money, but it is claimed most of this got away from him on the race tracks.
Hemingray three years ago figured in a sensational case when Charlotta Campiglio, a beautiful Cincinnati girl, with whom he eloped to the Pacific coast, committed suicide in San Francisco when she thought herself deserted. She was the daughter of a former organist at St. Paul’s Methodist church, who lived on West Fourth street. She was considered by artists an ideal type of Southern beauty.
When he left her in San Francisco she shot herself with a revolver belonging to him.
