PRETTY YOUNG WIFE OF WELL KNOWN TED SUICIDE BY SHOOTING HERSELF WHILE LABORING UNDER THE BELIEF THAT HER PRESENCE ON EARTH BROUHT HER HUS- TURFMAN WHO COMMIT- HE tragic suicide of Mrs. | Hemingray, the pretty girl-bride | of the well-known horseman, was | the subject of much convérsation yesterday. She was so young and so beautiful of face and form that her sad story excited unusual sympathy. Be- sides being despondent over the belief that she had lost her husband's love, she brooded over the idea that she had brought him i1l luck. A few days pre- vious to her death she informed Mrs. J. E. Locke, the wife of the proprietor of | the Knickerbocker apartment house, that she knew that she was her husband's She was so sensitive that this thought tortured her. - Mrs. Locke tried to laugh her out of her quéer super- stition, but without avafl. She was cer- tain that her husband would never be lucky with her. She recounted ‘that how only a few days subsequent to their mar- riage Hemingray had lost a gold match- | box set with diamonds and one of his SHERIFF FUREY WILL TAKE MADAME LA BONTA BACK She Is Wanted 'in Butte for Alleged Complicity in Murder of Dr. H. A. Cayley. Sheriff J. B. Furey of Silver Bow Coun- ty, Montana, arrived in this city vester- | day with the necessary papers for the ex- | tradition of Madame Ruth La - Bonta, alias Eva Hart, who is wanted for com- | plicity in the murder of Dr. H. A. Cayley in her apartments in Butte on the night of October 11. J. W. Kelly of Butte, who lived with the woman, is awalting trial for the murder. Bheriff Furey says that the woman is misrepresenting the facts when she says that Kelly was not in her room at the time of the shooting and that she alone fired the two shots at Dr. Cayley acci- dentally. Kelly, the Sheriff alleges, came | Into the room while Dr. Cayley was there and fired two shots at him, the first lodg- ing In the wall and the second striking | the doctor on the shoulder and lodging 1n | his spine. Dr. Cawley, he says, was very | popular in Butte and all arrangements i had been made for lynching Kelly and the | woman when the news spread that he | had been shot. The Sheriff got from Detective T. B. Gibson, who arrested the woman, all the incriminating letters found in her tempo- rary quarters at 415 Ellis street. He will | leave with his prisoner by this morning’s train. —————— Lecture on .Uses of German. | _The class in German conducted by the Young Men's Christian Association and taught by Professor Albin Putzker of the University of California will close its first term's work next Monday. Professor Putzker will deliver a lecture on the sub- ject, “What Does the Study of German Lead To?" All interested are invited to be present. » v horses had been so bad:y injured that it had to be killed. These mishaps, she believed, she had brought upon her hus- band, and the thought that she was bringing her husband bad luck added to the . despondency that resuited in her suicide. A dispatch from the dead girl's mother in Cincinnati casts some doubt on Hem- ingray's marriage with Carlotta Cam- piglio, as Mrs. Hemingray was known in her ‘home city. The mother stated that she is not certain'‘that the marriage ever took place. Robert Hemingray, however, still emphatically asserts that they were married. He says that the wedding took place in Chicago about three and a half months ago. He said, however, that he does not remember the name of the Jus- tice of the ' Peace who performed the ceremony. - His brother corroborates his statement that the marriage really took place. In accordance with: instructions from the husband the body 'of' the dead girl was taken to an O'Farrell-street under- taking pariors yesterday. It will be em- balmed and sent back to her mother in Cincinnati for burial. CINCINNATI, Nov. 30.—Mrs. Robert Hemingray, who committed suicide in San Francisqgp last night, was, before her mar- riage to Hemingray, Miss Carlo Campiglio of this city. Until a few months ago she lived with her parents, Professor and Mrs! Campiglio, at 636 West Fourth street. Last night when Mrs. Campiglio was in- e e e ] MRS. BURKE WAS NOT REQUESTED TO RESIGN President Denman of Board of Edu- cation Says Principal Will Not Be Disturbed. It appears that the article pyblished in vesterday’'s Call to the effect that certain priricipals are being asked to resign from the: School Department. by the Board of Education was' incorrect so far as Mrs. L. K. Burke, principal of the Columb'a Grammar School, is concerned. The fol- lowing self-explanatory letter sets the matter right: SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30, 1902, The statement in The Call of this morning stating that the Board of Education has asked the resignation of Mrs. L. K. Burke Isincor- rect. as no such request has been made or con- templated by the board. The Columbia Grammar School, over which Mrs. Burke presides as principal, is one of the largest and most popular schools in the city, and the board has no Intentiop of making any change.

The young woman who ended her life was but 18 years of age, and while the Wwas supposed to be the wife of a Robert Hemingray, the parents admitted last was married or not. They said she left her home about five months ago, presum- ably for San Francisco, as letters had been received from her written in thdt city. The father of the young woman said he did not know Robert Hemingray; that she was supposed to be visiting with relatives in San Franeisco. She will be remembered as one of the most strikingly beautiful girls that ever walked. the streets of Cincinnati., Her father has been organist of St. Paul's Church, this city, a number of years and conducted a musfe store across the river in Covington, Ky. Carlo Campiglio, though still a slip of a girl, " attracted attention and became known by sight to almost every one in the city because of her remarkable beauty and figure. She had admirers by the score among the young men of the city. As she bloomed .into young womanhood her beauty of face and figure increased, and wherever she went the girl attracted at- tention. Stories of escapades .and infatuation and conduct of the fastest were told about her. Suddenly she dropped from public view here. To-day's publication of her suicide was the talk of the large number of her old aequaintances.

It seems too bad that the story should be resuffected now that he is lald away in his grave.” Thus spoke Mrs. L. R. Ellert, widow of the late ex-Mayor, last night regarding the publication that Miss Edna- Ellert, daughter of the late Mayor by a former | wife, had inaugurated court proceedings for the purpose of proving her right to a portion of the estate, which it is al- leged is more valuable than the appraise- ment filed by Mrs. Ellert as administra- | trix. - Mrs. Ellert's statement was made under | stress of great excitement and came In | answer to the queéstion: | ““Was Miss Edna Ellert the daughter of the late Mr. Ellert?"” ““Well,” replled Mrs. Ellert, and then she hesitated as though disinclined to speak about the matter. *“I will not say anything about that,” she continued, and | then spoke of what she terms the unei “I have been misrepresented in the 'story as it was published,” Mrs. Ellert went on. “Itstates that I wrote a letter to the young lady telling her that the estate was valueless except as to shares in a corporation and a life insurance poi- icy.

There was nothing concealed in regard to Mr. Ellert's estate, nothing underhanded, and there was ab- | solutely no intrigue so far as I am con- cerned.

To the Rublic and Trade Unions of San Francisco: We desire to contradict a statement made in the speech of Super- visor Braunhart at a public meeting held | on Monday evening, November 24, wherein he accused Mr. Horace G. Platt, Presi- dent of the Geary-street Railroad Com- pany. of issuing a circular and other printed matter from a “rat” printing of- | fice. We desire to state that, with the excep- | tion of one other union printing office, | that we have done the entire work refer- | red to by Mr. Braunhart and feel that with a full | knowledge of the fact that the work came | from our office, which is a union office | and always has been since the day we | opened our doors; and believe his motive | is to deceive the public, as well as the| members of the different unions of San | Francisco, in order that they may vote! in the manner that may please him. This being a fact, wg respectfully advise all members of the trades unions to carefully | investigate the public statements of Mr. Braunhart.
