TO HAVE ALL DETAILS

OF DEATH BROUGHT OUT


GIRL'S GRANDFATHER THINKS

SHE WAS MURDERED.


PREPARATIONS FOR BURIAL


The Dead Girl Had Many Jewels

Which Have Not Been Reported by

San Francisco Police.


Local interest still attaches to the fate of Carlotta Steffen-Campiglio-Hemingray, known in Indianapolis as "Carl" Steffen, the beautiful girl who recently committed suicide in San Francisco. The girl's grandfather, R. R. Goodridge, a prosperous merchant of New York, has arrived in Cincinnati. With the mother, he shared the belief that his granddaughter met with foul play, and he will insist that all the details be brought to light.

The body is now on its way to Cincinnati, and on its arrival it will be reshipped to New York, after the mother has identified it. It will be buried in Woodlawn.

Mrs. Campiglio will accompany her father to New York where she will remain until she has recovered from the shock of her daughter's death.

Organist of St. Paul's.

Prof. Del Campiglio, her husband, will remain in Cincinnati, his professional duties as organist of St. Paul's M. E. church, Covington, and the care of his music classes not permitting his absence at this time.

Mrs. Campiglio will retain her position as soprano in the church in which her husband is organist.

Carlotta Campiglio possessed a number of valuable jewels and diamonds of which nothing has been reported by the authorities at San Francisco, and the proprietor of the Knickerbocker Hotel, where Carlotta ended her life, has been asked to forward them to her mother. Mrs. Campiglio fears that they have been taken, as some very costly gems were included in the collection.

The Belle of Coney Island.

A Cincinnati paper says that Carlotta Campiglio was the belle of Coney Island, the summer resort on the Ohio near Cincinnati, two years ago. At dances on the steamers to the island she was the most sought of all women.

At the time, it was reported that a wealthy Covington man had asked her to marry him.

For the past year she had been little in Cincinnati. She had been traveling to cities about the country. The last time she was in Cincinnati, she stopped at the Grand Hotel.
