Threat Made by Beautiful

Carlo Campiglio, When

Ordered to Leave the

Grand Hotel, in Cincinnati,

Statement of Hazel Reid Greve,

Pretty Daughter of Actor,

Who Was Intimate Friend of

Dead Girl.

Mother not Satisfied That Daughter

Killed Herself and Has Requested

Investigation - Story that Revolver

was Left in the Room

An investigation that has been conducted in Cincinnati has developed the rather surprising information that Carlotta Campiglio, whose tragic death in San Francisco caused a sensation, contemplated suicide before she left this city. This information comes from Mrs. Hazel Greve, nee Reid, the pretty daughter of Hal Reid, the playwright and actor. These two young women were very warm friend for a long time.

"I saw Carl - we never called her Carlo, as the papers have had it - the day she was ordered to leave the Grand Hotel," said Mrs. Greve Tuesday, "It was the day of the Roosevelt parade. When she received the notice to leave the hotel, she burst out crying, and turning to me, said: "Hazel, I shall kill myself some day; the world seems to be against me." That was the last time I ever saw her. When she left here it was her intention to open a manicure parlor in Indianapolis. She told me of her arrangements before she left the city. Carl had some ability as an artist, and her pen and ink work was declared clever by a number of competent judges. I intend to call on her mother to-day and offer my condolence. I shall send some nice flowers and some of my friends shall do likewise. It would be too bad to have the obsequies appear weird and devoid of flowers simply because Carl died as she did. I am sorry that she did not notify her friends here, as she could have obtained all the assistance that she needed. It was so foolish of her to end her life as she did. We often went out together to various places. This will be an awful blow to her mother, as she was very devoted to Carl."

Mrs. Greve is a daughter of Hal Reid and was formerly on the stage. She had an offer to join the Choperans company, which recently played at the Walnut Street theater. Mrs. Hazel Reid Greve is equally well known as a beauty as was the dead girl. The former is a tall, rather slender young woman, with beautiful blonde hair and a decidedly pretty face and figure, while Miss Campiglio was a decided brunette. The two girls, who were much together, were perfect foils for each other's peculiar type of beauty, and attracted much attention on the streets.

MOTHER NOT SATISFIED

GIRL KILLED HERSELF.

Mrs. Campiglio Telegraphed Coroner

To Make Full Investigation.

The tragic death of Carlotta Campiglio in San Francisco on Saturday continues to be a leading topic in this city and Covington. The heart-broken mother of the dead girl has worried herself ill at her home, 636 West Fourth Street, and her friends have been unable to comfort her. Much surprise has been expressed here that the beautiful girl should take her own life while despondent. She was always so apparently light-hearted and gay while a resident of this city and Covington that her many acquaintances did not think that she would kill herself, even under the most distressing of circumstances. In fact, the mother of the young woman refuses to believe that her daughter died by her own hand, and has asked the police of San Francisco to make a most thorough examination in reference to the details of the death. The message that the mother sent to the Golden Gate city Monday was as follows:

Chief of Police, San Francisco, Cal.

I can't believe that my daughter shot herself.

Investigate and let me know the truth at once.

Have body embalmed and sent at once to me.

MRS. LOTTIE CAMPIGLIO,

636 West Fourth St., Cincinnati

According to a dispatch from San Francisco, Hemingray admitted that he was not married to the girl. "The girl was not my wife," Hemingray is alleged to have said. "I have not told the truth in saying that she was, and I believe it was a gentleman's part to protect her name. Since her mother does not look upon it in the same light, however, I will decline to perjure myself in the matter. I first met her at Indianapolis. A friend at Chicago knew her and telegraphed her to go to that city and meet me. She did not do that, but I went to Indianapolis and got her. I told her when we started West that if she grew tired of me I would send her home. We lived at Chicago two weeks and have been here since that time. We first stayed at a hotel, but later took apartments at the Knickerbocker with my brother and his wife, and a friend of the latter, Miss Cora Westphal. There had never been any serous quarrels, although I had lightly chided her at times for indiscretions in the way of gossip. On the night that she killed herself she had told my brother's wife of some uncomplimentary remark made by me concerning the latter, and when I left the room I told her firmly, but not harshly, that she would have to quit gossiping or she would be a constant mischief maker. She admitted her fault, and we parted on very good terms. I now recall that she read me a letter received by her recently, informing her of the death of an uncle by suicide. I never thought, however, that she had suicidal tendencies. The more I try to arrive at a theory the more I am dumfounded. I believe her rash act was due to impulse and nothing else."

MRS. LOTTIE CAMPIGLIO.

Hemingray's aged mother, who is a wealthy resident of Muncie, Ind., was greatly shocked by the news from San Francisco. She had never been informed of her son's alleged marriage. The dead girl is remembered at Hot Springs, where she spent several weeks last spring. The remains of the unfortunate young woman will arrive here in a few days and will be cremated.

The San Francisco coroner has instituted a rigid investigation of a story told him by J. E. Locke, proprietor of the apartment house where the girl killed herself. Locke claimed that a loaded revolver had been left in the room and that his wife had been informed that the dead girl had been encouraged by certain persons to kill herself. He gave the name of his wife's informant to the coroner, who notified the San Francisco police department, asking that the matter be thoroughly sifted. Stories of many quarrels between Hemingray and his fair companion are related by witnesses. It is believed in San Francisco that there will be sensational developments in the story.
