Lee and the other organizers of 1992's AnEvening With Champions show had promised the JimmyFund a donation of more than $100,000.

To make the pledge official, they held aceremony at Eliot House where a commemorativecheck for more than $100,000 was presented toAndrews.

No real money changed hands then, but theco-chairs of the 1993 show, Jonathan S. Kolodner'94 and Kelly L. Morrison '94, were expected todeliver about $160,000 to the cancer charity whenthey took over in the summer of 1993.

But shortly after they assumed responsibility,Kolodner and Morrison discovered that the promisedmoney was gone.

The co-chairs immediately contacted Lee, whohad just graduated from Harvard.

At that time, Murphy said, Lee told them thathe had given between $75,000 and $80,000 to theJimmy Fund. But when the co-chairs double-checkedwith the Jimmy Fund, "that proved to be false,"Murphy said.

Lee then told the co-chairs that he had usedthe money to pay longstanding expenses associatedwith the Jimmy Fund, and that he had decided toforego a donation that year.

When the new co-chairs learned that statementwas also false, they had a final conversation withLee, Murphy said.

Lee told them then that the economy was bad,that the money was for the co-chairs to do with asthey saw fit and that he did not care if the JimmyFund received a dollar.

Kolodner and Morrison notified Universityofficials, who quickly turned the case over to thedistrict attorney's office.

The DA's office began an investigation focusingon Lee and former Evening With Champions TreasurerDavid G. Sword '93.

On July 20, 1994, after a year-long probe, agrand jury indicted Lee on 58 counts of larcenyover $250 and eight counts of larceny under $250.

On the day the indictment was handed down, Leeresigned from his job at Stamford, Connecticut'sCUC International. He has worked in a mail roomsince then.

Sword was indicted last summer on one count oflarceny over $250 for allegedly taking more than$12,000.

Three weeks later, the two pleaded not guiltyto all the charges.
