Robert "Robin" Hemingray - Carlotta Campiglio

CHIEF

Of San Francisco Police

Working on Theory of Mother of

Carlotta Campiglio

That Pretty Cincinnati Girl Did

Not Commit Suicide.

Remains Shipped Last Evening To

This City - More Disclosures as

To Unfortunate's Career.

The death of Carlotta Campiglio in San Francisco after a scene with her alleged husband, Robert Hemingray, is still the topic of conversation in swell clubs and other places in this city and Covington.

Chief of Police George W. Wittman, of San Francisco, is at work on the theory of the mother that the girl did not take her own life and will investigate the mother's suspicions in response to the telegram sent by Mrs. Lottie Campiglio saying that she could not believe that Carl, as her mother calls her, shot herself. Chief Wittman sent an answer late yesterday afternoon. In it he advised the mother that her wishes were being carried out, and that the remains had been embalmed and would be sent last night to Mrs. Campiglio's home at 636 West Fourth street.

"I am much comforted by this telegram," she said. "I feel sure this investigation will develop something. I do not think that Carl deliberately took her life. My father, P. R. Goodrich, will be here to-morrow from New York. He is a shrewd business man, and he will ferret out what is a mystery to me now."

Mrs. Campiglio, speaking to a friend yesterday, told of a theory of murder that she could not dispel from her mind. She was wrought up over the sensational stories connecting her daughter's name with a number of men, and declared that the dead girl's beauty had made her many enemies who were, now that the girl was dead, bobbing up with imaginary tales.

GRAND HOTEL EPISODE.

"That girl Hazel Reid Greve," she said vehemently. "I told my daughter not to go with her, and she dropped her. She only saw her a few times. It was cruel of her to talk of Carl as she did in referring to Carl's leaving the Grand Hotel. Carl was asked to leave because she had a great deal of male company, but I was with her most of the time. If Mrs. Greve sends flowers as she has said she would, to place on Carl's grave they will be returned."

Mrs. Campiglio has changed her plans which were to have the body cremated. The letter before her which the dead girl left asking to be placed "with a few shovelfuls of earth over her" has convinced the mother that it was her daughter's wish to be buried and arrangements for interment are being made. The body, it is expected will arrive Sunday evening.

Mrs. Campiglio still maintains that her daughter was married, in spite of Robert Hemingray's denials. Robin Hemingray has declined since Sunday to answer Mrs. Campiglio's telegrams. She sent a fourth telegram, without answer, to him yesterday which read:

"Why don't you telegraph when my Carlotta's remains will be sent? This suspense is awful. Lottie Campiglio."

Later the dispatch from Chief Wittman arrived with the information desired.

CARL'S CAREER

Was Successful as a Manicure Artist

In Indianapolis.

Special Dispatch To The Enquirer.

Indianapolis, December 2. - It developed here today that the Cincinnati girl, who, as Carlotta Hemingray, committed suicide in San Francisco, came here about two months ago with Mrs. Graham, of New York, and together they opened a manicure parlor on the sixth floor of the Stevenson Building, advertising themselves as Steffen & Graham, masseurs and manicurists. Carlo was known as Carlotta Steffen, and she speedily made friends and had an enjoyable time.

The partnership in the manicure parlor continued for about a month, and then Mrs. Graham sold out and returned to New York. Meanwhile Carlotta had told some of her newly found friends that she was betrothed to Robin Hemingray, a wealthy horseman and that they were to be married in San Francisco. Soon after the dissolution of partnership she closed up her affairs and left the city. It was supposed that she went direct to the Pacific Coast. While here Miss Steffen said that her mother's name was Campiglio, she having married again after the death of her first husband, who was Carlotta's father. Patrons report that Miss Carlotta was a delightful masseur, and she had picked up a number of well-to-do Indianapolis people as customers when her departure was announced. She is described as of magnificent form, with bewitching manners and fascinating powers of conversation. Her complexion was of olive hue, and her jet black hair added to her beauty. She made no secret of her attachment for the young horseman to whom she was betrothed.

BANISHED

From the Track For Traducing a

Dead Woman's Name.

Special Dispatch To The Enquirer.

San Francisco, December 2. - Robert Hemingray will never again race his horses on the Ingleside track. He has been peremptorily ordered to remove his horses from the enclosure, and the gatekeepers have been notified that he must not be allowed to again enter the grounds. Hemingray has been ordered off in disgrace because it was believed he had traduced the name of a dead woman.

Hemingray admitted yesterday that he was not the husband of the girl known as Carlotta Hemingray, but whose real name is Carlotta Steffin, and who committed suicide at the Hotel Knickerbocker on Saturday evening last. Not only did he admit that the girl had been living as his mistress but he also said that having heard of her beauty while she was in Indianapolis he traveled there to obtain possession of her and induce her to accompany him to San Francisco, where she was supposed to be his wife.

When Thomas H. Williams, President of the New California Jockey Club, heard of Hemingray's conduct last night his blood was aroused to the boiling point. He declared that no man who would traduce the name of a dead woman should ever race a horse on any track of which he was in charge of or should ever be allowed to enter the enclosure of such a track.

He sent word to the track and Hemingray was ordered to at once remove his horses.
