Not to Speak to Her Son

Again; Story of a

Cincinnati Woman's Attempt

to Forestall a Marriage

[BY PUBLISHERS' PRESS]

Cincinnati, O, Dec 4. — Fearful that her son would get into a matrimonial alliance with Carlotta Campiglio, the beautiful Cincinnati girl, who killed herself Saturday at San Francisco, a wealthy woman of 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 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 off the girl. The money, it is said, was paid by an attorney, the girl, with a smile, vowing nevermore to speak to the love-sick 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.

In response to numerous messages of inquiry, the mother of Carlotta Campiglio has learned that the body will arrive for burial in Cincinnati about next Monday. Chief of Police G. W. Wittman, of San Francisco, wired the mother, after several messages she sent to Robert Hemingray brought no response. The chief has also promised to inquire closely into the features of the girl's death, as requested by the girl's mother, who says she cannot believe that the wound was with suicidal intent. Carlotta's body is not to be cremated, as first planned. Mrs. Campiglio now believing it 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.

The young turfman's proclamation that the girl was really not his wife has met with no favor at San Francisco.

It develops that Carlotta, under her real name of Steffen, conducted a manicure parlor at Indianapolis with a Mrs. Graham, of New York, in the Stevenson building. It was there that Hemingray joined her.
