Carlotta Campiglio Suicide

BEAUTY'S CAREER WILD AND TRAGIC.

Carlotta Campiglio

CINCINNATI. — Fast circles in this city were startled by the suicide at San Francisco of Carlotta Campiglio, 18, stepdaughter of a church organist and a granddaughter on the maternal side of R. Goodrich, New York. At Frisco she was represented by Robert Hemingray of Muncie, Ind., a young turfman, as his bride, but he has since her death, declared that they were not married. In Cincinnati, after a short, torrid career as a belle among rich young men, she went to Indianapolis, Chicago, New Orleans and Hot Springs, Ark., and finally went west with Hemingray, whom she seemed to have loved so devotedly that fear of being repudiated by him caused her to end her life. She died clasping the picture of her mother.

GIRL SUICIDES;

MAN IS FORGIVEN

ROBERT HEMINGRAY CASE

CREATES UNUSUAL INTEREST.

REINSTATED BY JOCKEY CLUB

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.— Although San Francisco's winter racing season is only three weeks old it already has provided a sensation in the ruling off and reinstatement again of the young Kentuckian Robert Hemingray, whose questionable connection with the untimely death of the Cincinnati girl, Carlotta Steffens, or Campiglio, or whatever her real name might have been, was the cause of his turf career in this part of the country being closed summarily by the New California Jockey club and then given a new lease by President Tom Williams. Williams consented to reconsider the decision of the jockey club and after a thorough investigation he concluded that Hemingray should be reinstated.

It seems Hemingray, having been told of the girl's physical beauty, met her by appointment in Chicago during the fall meeting of the Worth Jockey club. He was not disappointed in her appearance and persuaded her to accompany him when he started west for the winter's racing here. She had a season badge as Mrs. Hemingray at Ingleside and had been a regular visitor at the track since it opened on Nov. 15. Also she had been about town a good deal with Hemingray during their brief sojourn here and her beauty had attracted much notice. At least half a dozen men in San Francisco are said to have become deeply infatuated with her. One is a well known pugilist, two are politicians and others occupy positions in the business world.

The whole affair is bad enough and sad enough. It Is the old story of reaping the whirlwind after sowing the wind. Her body is speeding eastward to the mother in Cincinnati, whose heart she has broken.
