PERJURY CHARGE
LATEST TURN In
PANTAGES CASE
Defense Asserts Nothing
To Story Told By
Women Complainants.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, June IL. W.H
"A bombshell was tossed into the
defense ranks of Alexander Pan
tages and three co-defendants on
morals charges today, when accu-
sations of subornation of perjury,
assertedly involving Jesse Shreve,
one of the defendants, were in the
hands of District Attorney Thomas
Whelan.
Whelan announced he would call
the grand jury Immediately to lay
the charges before it.
E. Byron Stems, wealthy oil pro-
motor and sportsman, who was one
of those accused of the purported
offense, was held incommunicado in
the city Jail while Whelan investi-
gated information given him by
Mrs. May A. Stems, wife of the pro-
moter.
Mrs. Siens according to Whelan,
said she and May Cornell had been
asked to give false testimony at the
trial of Shreve, but that when she
refused, her husband kicked her
and ordered Miss Cornell from the
house.
The asserted offense came to light
when Mrs. Stems filed suit for di-
vorce, charging her husband kicked
her because she refused to "lie on
the witness stand" to help Shreve.
Whelan said he would give
Shreve, his brother, Archie. and c.
J. BaSsler, one his attorneys, an op-
portunity to explain the incident to-
day.
From the Shreve camp came an
entirely different version of the af-
fair, and the announcement that
an investigation would be welcomed.
Archie Shreve declared that the
women approached him early this
month and related incidents which
occurred at the home of Jesse
Shreve, on October 20, when John
P. Mills, a co-defendant in the
morals trial, went to Shreve's house
to use the telephone.
Denial By Shreve
Mills told Shreve that he had
some friends coming down the next
day from Los Angeles, and asked
Shreve to entertain them until he
could return from the fights"
Archie Shreve said Mrs. Stems told
him.
"Shreve declared he would be glad
to, and Mills placed long distance
CALL" Mrs, Stems was quoted as say
ing.
1t was this call which Mills tes-
titled he made to Mrs Olive Clark
Day which resulted in Lydia Nitto
and Helen Livingston, accusing wit
nesses at the trial, being brought
here for a party October 80.
After Mrs. Stems and Miss Cor
neil told us their story, I had two
copies made and gave them back
for the women to sign and correct.
We had planned to use this evi-
dence in the trial to show Jesse
Shreve was unaware of Mills
plans" Archie Shreve declared.
Later, Mrs. Stems called us UP
and said they would not be able to
give the testimony, even in affidavit
form, because of family troubles"
The trouble, Mrs. Siens said, was
being kicked by her husband for
her refusal to give false testimony
at the trial.
The affidavits which Shreve said
he had prepared were then turned
over to Whelan by the women when
he began an investigation last
night.
The charges that the affidavits
in the possession of the women were
given them to memorize is utter
rot," Archie Shreve declared "They
were merely copies of the state
ments given to US
