Letter - Dead Girl Had Been

a Noted Figure in Cincinnati.

The remains of the young woman who was known in San Francisco as Mrs. Robert Hemingray and in this city as Miss Carlo Campiglio, will be brought to Cincinnati and cremated. The suicide of the young woman in an apartment house in San Francisco Saturday has caused a decided sensation in Cincinnati and Covington. The girl's mother is prostrated with grief at her home, 636 West Fourth street, and all efforts to console her

Have Proved Futile.

It is expected that the body of the young woman will arrive here about the latter part of this week. William Goodridge, father of Mrs. Campiglio, who is a prominent merchant of New York, will come to attend the incineration. Carlotta Campiglio was a noted beauty. Her charm of face and form would have attracted attention any place. She was between 17 and 18 years of age and had

Admirers by the Score.

A few months ago she left the city ostensibly to visit relatives and the dispatch from San Francisco telling of her suicide was the first intimation that her mother had that she had married Robert Hemingray, who owns some racehorses now running at the Ingleside track near San Francisco. In fact, the Covington relatives of Hemingray say that if he was married to the young woman they know nothing of it. The young woman who ended her earthly existence with a bullet was known here for a long time as "Carlo the Beautiful." On Fourth street and elsewhere in Cincinnati, she had

Attracted Much Attention

and had been greatly admired. Her father had been the organist at St. Paul's church on Seventh street for a number of years. Prof. Campiglio also conducted a music school in Covington, Ky. Only a short time ago the family moved to this side of the river and took up their abode on Fourth street. Carlotta Campiglio's name was frequently used in connection with those of several prominent men in this city and Covington. Among those who greatly admired her was "Young Corbett," the pugilist, who defeated Terry McGovern for the feather-weight championship of the world. The pugilist and the famous beauty were seen much together here for a week or so while he was in training at Price Hill. The girl seemed much smitten on the little fighter and seemed supremely happy when in his society. After Corbett left Cincinnati she was seen much in the society of other young men who

Wined and Dined Her.

Some months ago she is said to have figured in an escapade which caused her to be ordered from the Grand Hotel. Then she left Cincinnati and was not heard of again by the public until the news of her suicide reached the city. Hemingray refused to enter the room where the dead body of the woman lay, as he said he had heart disease and feared the effect of any intense excitement. When informed of the death of his girl-wife, Hemingray was deeply affected. Among the effects of the deceased, the following letter was found:

"Bob, Dear - Don't curse me when I am gone, please. But I am heart-broken and cannot live without you, as I love you with all my soul. You'll bury me, won't you, Bob? Just a little dirt over the body of the girl who would not live without you, dear. I am sorry I did such a wicked thing as gossip, but I am so young, only remember, Bob, and you have trifled with my heart. When you told me you did not care to talk with me, I just longed to kiss you, throw my arms around your neck, but you would have knocked me down. So I die without one kiss, but I had one look at your dear face. Ask Con and Rose to forgive me, for I can never do it again. Good-by, sweetheart. Again I say you will never know how you had gained the love of your little girl.          CARLOTTA."

Among the admirers of the young woman at one time was a wealthy Cincinnatian, whose income is enormous. Soon his name and that of Carlotta Campiglio were linked together and they were seen together quite often. Then a rich young whisky dealer of Covington became enamored of the beautiful young woman. These two young men finally became rivals for her favors. While at Hot Springs, Carlotta met Robert Hemingray, the man for whom, apparently,

She Killed Herself Saturday.

The news that she and young Hemingray were together in San Francisco, presumably married, was a big surprise in Covington. Hemingray is still quite a young man, but exceedingly well known on the account of his family connections. He is a son of the late Robert Hemingray, formerly of Covington, but of later years of Muncie, Ind. It was not known in Covington that Robert Hemingray had ever heard of Carlotta Campiglio. Neither was it generally known that he and his brother Cornelius were in San Francisco and owners of racehorses.

GIRL'S FATHER IS WEALTHY

GROCER IN NEW YORK.

Mother Can Not Believe That Girl

Killed Herself.

The real name of the suicide was Charlotte Steffin, and her father is a prominent New York grocer. Charlotte, or Carlo, Campiglio, as she was popularly know in this city, was the daughter of Mrs. P. F. Campiglio by her first marriage to a Mr. Steffin of New York. Mrs. Campiglio subsequently obtained a divorce from Steffin and married Mr. P. F. Campiglio. Over her daughter's pathetic death, Mrs. Campiglio is heartbroken. She has suffered greatly since the news of the girl's end was told her. "I can not believe that Carlo killed herself," she said Monday morning, when seen by a Times-Star reporter. "She was always so happy and bright. Some one else must have fired that shot. I can't believe she is even dead, because I can not realize that such a thing as this could have happened. She and I were just like sisters. Her real name is Steffin and her father a New York grocer. She wrote to me often and in her last letter she said nothing of cruel treatment by her husband. She only said she was sorry that she left Cincinnati and wished that I was near her. At the time of her marriage she wrote and told me of it and said that she was going to San Francisco with Mr. Hemingray. No, I never saw him and do not know him. Oh, God! this is awful — awful," she moaned. "Her body is to be brought here. I can't make up my mind to have her cremated, though Mr. Campiglio desires it. My father, Wm. Goodrich, will come to the funeral."

When told that the girl died with a picture of her mother in her hand, the unfortunate Mrs. Campiglio broke down utterly. Her haggard face and the dark lines about her eyes show how terrible the trouble is to her. Mrs. Campiglio said that she had received no word from Steffin regarding the death of the young girl, who is his daughter. "Indeed," she said, "I do not know whether he is still living. I have not heard from him in years."

Friends say that Steffin is still living in New York.
