ill TESTIFIES
IN OWH BEHALF
IN DIVORCE SUIT
Denies Intimate Relations With
"Mrs. Byrne" and Says
Wife Testified Falsely;
Admits Drinking.
George H. Lee, head of the George
H. Lee Incubator & Poultry Sup
plies Co., who is defendant in a di
vorce petition filed by his wife, Mrs.
Martha Lee, took the witness stand
Monday- afternoon in his own behalf
and entered a general denial of his
wife's accusations made during the
rmoriHcg session.
Mrs. Lee in her testimony, said
that the. troubles arose over a third
party, whom she named as a former
"Mrs. W. Byrne," now said to live
in California. She testified that Lee
became infatuated with the woman
about eight years ago, that lie then
neglected his marital duties, took to
drinking and as a climax left home
about two years ago. She testified
that Mrs. Byrne's husband adminis
tered a sound beating to Mr. Lee
when the latter was discovered with
Mrs. Byrne at her home.
Mrs. Byrne Just Friend.
Mr. Lee denied that Mrs. Byrne
was other than a friend.
"Why, . there was nothing but
friendship between Mrs. Byrne and
myself," Lee testified. "I treated her
in a manner like any man would a
lady."
Lee admitted that he had been a
victim of a beating at the Byrne
home and that his family unhappi
ncss had led to heavy drinking on
his part. He denied, however, that
this onl'the other woman" had any1
thing to do with the starting of the
trouble between himself and his wife,
which he said started nearly 20 years
ago on Mr. Lee's refusal to have
children. It. was her reticence in this
respect, he said, that caused him to
leave home and take up his residence
at the Blackstone hotel, where he
now lives. Mrs. Lee was recalled to
the wjtness stand and firmly denied
this accusation.
A daughter, Mrs. Donald T. Burke,
wife of Lieutenant Burke, was called
to the witness stand during the day
and generally corroborated her
mother's statements.
Question of Alimony.
An expert accountant was called by
the plaintiff's lawyer to establish the
financial status of the Lee company,
which ,Mrs, Lee says is worth $105,
700. The question of alimony figures
in the suit.
TJie trial was continued for two
days until the defendant's lawyer is
able to submit depositions regarding
Mr. Lee s financial standing. ,
Mrs, Lee and her daughter are liv
ing at the family residence, 3620 Lin
coln boulevard. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Lee have long been members of the
Field club and other Oinaha clubs.

yesterday on one of his personally
