Lorain saloon keeper Joe Torney admits shooting Burt Lee
Joe Torney testified in Lorain’s common pleas court that in an alley he fired twice at Burt Lee, killing him. He said Lee approached with a fellow colored man after a confrontation over a stolen whisky bottle from Torney’s saloon and a threatened fight, and that he fired when Lee came within eight feet. Torney, 38, born in Italy, described his movements and motives and said he did not intend to kill Lee, fearing possible harm.
