Hi Gabriele, Try Bronx County Clerk's Office and The New York Times. Barb w/ fouled up online connection ============ I was wondering if anyone could tell me where court information would be held. This was a case that was arraigned Sept 5 1948, trial began Sept 21, 1948. Sentence was handed down Oct 1949. This trial took place in the Bronx but I am wondering where the records would be held. Bronx courts? Municipal Archives in NYC? Anyone?

>From all that I have found, this case was arraigned 3 Sep 1948 at Bronx Court / Special Sessions and held over for trial by Judge Frank A. Oliver. Trial was scheduled for 21 Sep 1948. The defendant was Dr. Morris Leff - obgyn, charged with improper record keeping and falsifying at least one birth certificate. Dr. Leff had previously ran the Central Park Hospital, aka Dr Leff's Hospital on 110th St. NYC. At this time he had his own clinic, Dr. Leff's Maternity Hospital which was located on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx. The NY Times ran another article on 26 Jan 1949 handing down sentence. (found guilty). According to the New York Times, he was sentenced by Judge Samuel Joseph. From information I have found about Samuel Joseph it seems he was a Judge at the Bronx Supreme Court at that time. By 1960 Leff's Clinic had been shut down as there were many cases of baby brokering. My interest in this case is to know who represented him and to possibly find out what the name of the attorney was (maybe one and the same) who handled all these very suspect adoptions.
