The
most compelling pieces of evidence I found as proof of the integrity
of Rudolph Valentino's closest friend and business manager, S. George
Ullman were the blank checks, signed by Rudolph Valentino. These were
presented to the judge during the 1930 hearing necessitated by the
frivolous charges brought against Ullman by Valentino's brother.
George
Ullman's lawyer presented the signed checks as proof that if George
Ullman wanted to steal money from the estate, as he was being accused
of doing by said brother, he could have just written in the amount
and cashed the checks.
The
judge did not accept the checks into evidence and told Ullman's
lawyer no proof was needed because S. George Ullman had already
demonstrated his integrity to the court and proved he was capable of
expert accounting of the estate.
S.
George Ullman was a man of high integrity.
