Can't Find Birth Record. When his friends searched the of fice of the Register of Records of the Department of Health they could find no record of the birth of Joseph Ullmann in this city. His brother, Charles Ullmann, then appealed to Dr.. Henry Griswold, of No. 70 West Forty-eighth Street, the family phy sician of UHmann's parents, for an affidavit to prove that his brother Joseph was American born, on the ground that Dr. Griswold had betn the attending physician at Ullmann birth. Dr. Griswold had boen seen by Charles Ullmann before as to the hjrth certificate of his brother and had been forced to tell the anxiou inquirer that there had been a fail ure to file a report of Joseph UH mann's birth at the time. Dr. Griswold said to a reporter over the telephone last night "I have known Joseph Ullmann all his life, and although I am now seven ty years old, I am certain my mind is sufficiently clear to recall that I birth. I have made affidavit accord I ingly and will do all in my power I on UHmann's behalf, because I knew I his father, and I knew him certainly 1 to he American." I When the stay was granted Ull- I mann in England the State De part- I ment in Washington was notified and is itself making inquiries. If the re suit , supports Ullmann s claim imm ediate steps will be taken from Wash ington to secure his reprieve and ul timate freedom. lrti.. w-.. a,. n4- ii i - i. i The only way to overcome the ab sence of a birth certificate as a proof of birth will be, Dr. Shirley W.
