Kathy Boudin refused to identify the father of her 18-month-old son on the child's birth certificate. The Daily News learned yesterday that Boudin's son, Chesa, was born on Aug. 21, 1980 at Sloan Hospital for Women at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. An obstetrician named Susan Williamson delivered the child. The birth certificate identifies the child as C. Jackson Adams and the mother as Lydia Adams, the name Boudin used to apply for public assistance from the city. Consistent with the welfare application, Lydia Adams gave her age as 34 and her date of birth as April 28. 1946. Boudin, in reality, is 38. In addition, "Adams" said her place of birth was Colorado and that she was then living at 50 Morningside Drive. The spaces for the father's name, age and place of birth were left blank. The birth certificate indicates that Boudin gave birth to the baby while she was living with reporter Rita Jensen of the Stamford (Conn.) Advocate, at Jensen's cooperative- apartment about a block from Columbia University. But there was no way of knowing whether she was already pregnant when she moved in with Jensen or became pregnant later. Authorities are still trying to find out If David Joseph Gilbert, 37, of Cambridge, Mass., one of the three arrested with Boudin in the $1.0 million Brink's robbery, is the baby's father. J r. n fjtnsen has told polk: officials that she 'knew Gilbert as 'Loa Wassermaa and believed him to be Chela's father, t cops checked armored car robbery and shootout were interviewed and fingerprinted Tuesday. Their files were taken by car to the county's bureau of criminal Identification to be wired to Albany. The state's Division of Criminal Justice Services began receiving the prints, including fingers and palms, of the suspects at 1:38 a.m. Wednesday, the final sheet transmitted an hour later. At 3:44 a.m., the state agency responded that one of those arrested was Samuel Brown, whose arrest record for burglary, robbery and illegal gun possession dates to 1958, police said. THERE WERE NO criminal records in Albany for Barbara Edsen, Judith Clark or James Lester Hackford, the other suspects arrested. Hackford later was identified as David Gilbert But something did not sit right with, the two veteran law enforcement agents. There were too many loose ends and too many other lawmen, including the FBI, snooping around and asking questions about the suspects' method of attack. The suspects' brand of terrorism last Tuesday seemed similar to recent attacks on armored cars in and around New York City. And the style also sounded like that of the Black Liberation Army. Shortly before 4 a.m. Wednesday, Human, the Nyack police officer, returned to his office and pulled out the FBI posters. Among them was a picture of Kathy Boudin, wanted for interstate flight to avoid prosecution for the 1968 "Days of Rage" in Chicago. He called Rockland Deputy Sheriff Sullivan and reportedly said: "There are some similarities between the FBI flyer and one of the suspects." Sullivan turned to his files. "I checked specifically for the prints," he recalled yesterday. "It took me a few minutes as I lined up the Edsen prints against those of Boudin from the poster. I found these prints to be identical."
