Theater Man Denies Party Case in San Diego Trial
Alexander Pantages testified in the San Diego girl market case that he had no advance knowledge of the alleged hotel party and denied acts with Lydia Nitto. He said his San Diego visit on October 16 aimed to arrange payment of a 680000 note for George R. Daley, at the request of Jesse H. Shieve who accompanied him. The state accuses Pantages and Shreve of conspiring with Olive Clark Day and William Jotelman to lure Miss Nitto, 17, to the hotel, while Nitto testified she was brought to an office with Mrs. Day and Helen Livingston to await Pantages. Pantages claimed three women went with Shreve to the lobby, then joined him in his room. He said Nitto tried to seize him, but he left for Shreve and the women, and John P. Billie, a real estate agent, later became a state’s witness. He added that Nitto apologized for menacing him because he appeared older than his age.
