How a Cincinnati Mother

Saved Her Son from

Carlotta Steffin.

CINCINNATI, December 3. — Fearful that her son would get into a matrimonial alliance with Carlotta Campiglio, the beautiful Cincinnati girl, a wealthy woman in Cincinnati paid the girl $10,000 to never speak to him again. This is the latest story told of the bewitching brunette.

The young man was smitten beyond redemption by the pretty face of the girl. She toyed with him as she did with others and he believed he was the favored one. A friend carried the news to the youngster's mother. A scene followed, but the young man would not or could not cease his worship of the girl. Then the mother called into consultation a close and personal friend and it was decided that she could buy the girl off. The money, it is said, was paid by an attorney, the girl, with a smile, vowing nevermore to speak to the lovesick man. After that deal the girl displayed money and did much travelling about. She dressed handsomely and was liberal to her friends. So well did she keep her word that she walked away from the young man one afternoon without a word, of explanation.

Carlotta's body is not to be cremated as first planned. Mrs. Campiglio now believes its best to literally carry out her daughter's last expressed wish of being laid away "with a few shovelfuls of earth" over her.

That the girl was Hemingray's lawful wife is still believed by Mrs. Campiglio, in spite of Hemingray's denial at San Francisco. She bases her faith upon the letter received some time ago from her daughter, in which the latter said she would become Hemingray's wife.
