"CARLO THE BEAUTIFUL" WAS

THE CALIFORNIA SUICIDE —

HER LIFE IN CINCINNATI


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1. — 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.

Robert Hemingray admitted to the coroner to-day that the young woman who killed herself on Saturday and with whom he had been living for several months, was not his wife.

He name, he says, 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 say they desire a thorough investigation.


"CARLO THE BEAUTIFUL."


CINCINNATI, Dec. 1. — 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 at her home here. When seen to-day 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 secured a divorce from Steffin several years ago and subsequently married P. F. Del Campiglio, organist at St. Paul's P. E. church, Covington.

Hemingray is a son of the late Robert Hemingray, formerly of Covington but of late years of Muncie, Ind. He is a nephew of Ralph Hemingray, a wealthy glass manufacturer of Muncie.
