San Francisco. Dec. 2. - Owing to charges which have been 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 by suggestion and by leaving the weapon with which she killed herself where she could find it. Coroner Leland has ordered a thorough investigation of the case. Robert Hemingray admitted to the coroner that the young woman who killed herself on Saturday night and with whom he had been living for several months was not his wife. Her name, he says, is Miss Carlotta Campiglio of Cincinnati. The dead woman was the daughter of a well known Italian family. The Hemingray brothers deny Locke's assertion emphatically and assert their desire for a thorough investigation of the facts. Robert Hemingray denies that the woman was despondent or that he had any intimation that she would commit suicide.

Caused a Sensation.

Cincinnati. Dec. 2. - The suicide of the young woman who was 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. She said her daughter had been married to Hemingray several months ago. 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 wealthy 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 Protestant Episcopal church, Covington. Hemingray is a son of the late Robert Hemingray, formerly of Covington, Ky.
