Cincinnati, Dec. 1. - The suicide of the young woman, who is known in San Francisco as Mrs. Robert Hemingray and in this city as Miss Carlotta Campiglio, has caused a decided sensation in Cincinnati and Covington, Ky. She was known in both cities as "Carlo the Beautiful," and had many admirers. Her mother is prostrated with grief at her home, 636 West Fourth street, this city. When seen today she said that her daughter had been married to Hemingray several months ago in Chicago.

The remains of the young woman will be brought here for burial. The real name of the suicide was Carlotta Steffin, and her father is said to be a prominent grocer of New York. The mother of Carlotta secured a divorce from Steffin several years ago and subsequently married P. F. Del Campiglio, organist at St. Paul's P. E. church, Covington. Hemingray is the son of the late Robert Hemingray, formerly of Covington, but in late years of Muncie, Ind. He is the nephew of Ralph Hemingray, the wealthy glass manufacturer of Muncie.

 

San Francisco. - Owing to the charges preferred by J. F. Locke, proprietor of the Knickerbocker hotel, to the effect that Robert Hemingray, the horseman, and his brother facilitated the suicide of the former's wife here Saturday night by suggestion and by leaving the weapon with which she killed herself where she could find it. Coroner Leland had ordered a thorough investigation of the case. Robert Hemingray admitted to the coroner today that the young woman with whom he had been living for several months was not his wife.
