HEMINGRAY


Whose Sweetheart Killed Herself in

San Francisco, Arrested By the

Local Police.


Robert Hemingray, son of the glass manufacturer of Covington, Ky., and Muncie, Ind., and a member of an excellent family of Kentucky, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective Kinkead on complaint of Manager Jack Ryland, of the Honing Hotel. It is claimed Hemingray ran up a bill of about $40 at the hotel and neglected to pay it. He was locked up at Central Police Station on a charge of obtaining lodging with intent to defraud.

When he was arrested he laughed and said the "police would not keep him locked up an hour." But up to last night no one had been found to go bond for him. Hemingray a few years ago had considerable money, but it is claimed most of this got away from him on the race tracks.

Hemingray three years ago figured in a sensational case when Charlotta Campiglio, a beautiful Cincinnati girl, with whom he eloped to the Pacific Coast, committed suicide in San Francisco, when she thought herself deserted. She was the daughter of a former organist at St. Paul's Methodist Church, who lived on West Fourth street. She was considered by artists an ideal type of Southern beauty.

When he left her in San Francisco she shot herself with a revolver belonging to him.
