Bronze fakes give expert

or air.
There were no injuries or fires
connected with the spill, authorities
said, and cleanup efforts were com-
pleted by Thursday afternoon.
Some of the fluid ran into a near-
by stream. Pollution control offi-
cials took water samples to monitor
the quality.
The truck apparently jackknifed
after hitting an Icy spot on the high-
way. The cab of the rig punctured
the chemical tank.
Officials said the truck was trav-
eling from Enid to Kentucky. The
driver, Clifford Taylor, 62, of Amar-
illo, Texas, was not injured.
sault with intent to murder his wife.
"The first thing we are going to do
is fight the charges against him in
Tennessee. It’s a domestic spat that
blew out of proportion," attorney
Karl Bishop said in a telephone in-
terview Wednesday night.
Bishop said the warrants against
Brown are invalid because nobody
made a sworn, written statement
before a magistrate as required by
Tennessee law
“If the charges are dropped, then
we ll begin the process of fighting
the extradition," Bishop said.
Bishop said if Brown is returned
to Oklahoma. Bishop would be will-
ing to represent him before that
state's parole board, which would be
asked to release Brown, who served
27 years behind bars before his
escape
A spokeswoman for the Oklahoma
governor's office said he expected
the parole board would probably
look at such a request in a negative
light because of the extraditions
delay. The spokeswoman said Gov.
Davi0 Boren also had a request
from Brown's attorneys that pro-
secutors drop the escape charges.
1966, for $12. Now the book sells for

Out of his later experiences has
come a second book. "The Second
Bronze World of Frederic Reming-
ton " He hopes it does as well. It is
about the fakes.
"People who are intersted in buy-
ing art will just not seek out
advice," said Wear, a slender man
with a white beard, a full head of
gray and white hair and a penchant
for well-smoked corncob pipes.
"The biggest problem is they
don't buy it through the old, estab-
lished firms." Wear said. "The days
are gone when you can go out and
find a great piece of art in a junk
shop.”
Wear said he cannot remember
the number of times he has been
called into courtrooms during the
' ‘ /I
past decade to serve as an expert
witness and identify fake Reming-
ton statues. Many of the fakes are
copies of the 21 studies done by
Remington, a popular painter and
illustrator who lived from 1860 to
1909 Others just attempt new molds
In the Remington style. Those are
the easiest to show as frauds.
"They (the Remingtons) are all
known." Wear said "Every subject
is known.”
And. although there is no central
register now available, Wear and
other experts in the field know vir-
tually where every one of the 2,000
or so Remington bronze’s are locat-
ed. They are all numbered
"Most of them (the fakes) are of
the typical subject matter — the
mountain man, the bronco buster,”
Wear said "They are the easiest to
cast and the general public is famil-
iar with the subject."
Wear said he knows exactly what
to look for to determine if a statue is
really a Remington or a fraud.
"You look for the quality of the
casting," he said. "You look for the
detail. A fine Remington bronze will
have exquisite detail.
"Most of these artists of that peri-
od were men being as realistic as
they possibly could," Wear said.
"They are getting in all the move-
ment and carrying it down to the
detail."
Although Wear said he has never
been on the losing side In the court-
room. being an expert witness in the
field is not always easy. In a recent
case, he had to testify opposite an
expert witness for the other side
who happened to be a close friend.
This was tough on me," he said.
"He's an expert, too. All I could do
was tell the facts."
Wear said the easiest people to
fool into buying the fake Reming-
tons are "professional people," such
as lawyers and doctors.
"They have the money and there
is something about professional
people.” Wear said. "They think
they can go out on their own and be-
come experts.
“People are greedy,” Wear said. J
"They want to buy something for
nothing."
He said most of the fakes aell for
$10,000 to $15,000. Remington's ma-
jor works sell for much more.
He said some forgers spend a year
or 18 months showing their fakes to
unsuspecting persons with good re-
putations and exhibiting them in
small museums so they can get
their names on the paperwork ac-
companying the statue and help
convince the buyer of its authentici-
ty
Slaying trial
evidence given
MUSKOGEE (AP) - Eleven state
witnesses testified Wednesday in
the trial of Tommy D. Berryhill,
accused of killing an 82-year-old
Porum woman last September.
Berryhill is charged with first-de-
gree murder, allegedly committed
in the act of the rape of Anna Max-
field at her home.
A chemist for the Oklahoma State
Bureau of Investigation, Dennis
Reimer, testified that hair found in
the area of the victim was similar to
Berryhill's hair.
A pathologist also testified that
semen was detected in the area of
the victim.
Five more state witnesses are
scheduled today before the defense
begins it case.

Bruce Wear to recognize the in-

cleanup completed
FORT SMITH (AP) - A tractor -

jackknifed on 1-40 near Fort Smith
Wednesday morning, spilling 1.500
gallons of a toxic chemical.
Authorities said the rig was car-
rying 2,500 gallons of ethyl acrelate,
a chemical used to make water-em-
ulgion paints and paper coating.
Traffic was blocked for almost
two hours before noon as state po-
lice and officials of the Department
of'Pollution Control and Ecology
erected dams to contain the spill.
Authorities said the chemical ig-

NASHVILLE (AP) - Samuel But-
ler Brown's fight to stay in Tennes-
see. which began In April when he
was recognized as an Oklahoma fug-
itive. was not ended by the signing
of extradition papers, his attorney
says.
Gov. Ray Blanton says he will
honor Oklahoma Gov David Boren's
request that Brown. 55, be returned
to the Oklahoma State Penitentiary
at McAlester, where he was serving
a life term before escaping In 1970.
In July. Blanton refused to send
Brown back to the prison after fami-
ly and friends said he had been a
model citizen in suburban Hender-
sonville, living unnoticed as Carl
Longley until his arrest April 24.
“1 feel like he has let all of us
down. Both my decision, his family,
news media and his neighbors sup-
ported him," Blanton said.
Blanton's announcement came six
hours after a General Sessions
Court judge referred charges
against Brown to the Sumner Coun-
ty grand jury, which meets in April.
Following a family squabble Jan.

TULSA (UPI) — The administra-
tion of Oral Roberts University has
turned a cold shoulder to students'
suggestion the school dress code be
changed to allow women to wear
slacks in the winter.
An editorial in the student news-
paper said it was just too cold to
walk around campus In dresses The
dean of women says the girls knew
before they arrived at ORU that
they would not be allowed to wear
slacks to class.
"The dress code won't be changed
because it was set into motion in
1965 when the regents opened the
college.” said Dean Reavis Gray.
She said it was the regents, not
evangelist Oral Roberts, who decid-
ed women students should wear
dresses to class.
"Most of our kids are not unhap-
py." she said. "They are informed
well ahead of time, and many of
them come because of this. We are
proud of the way our campus looks
and the way our students look.”
Shelly Lamoreaux. a reporter for
The Oracle, the ORU student news-
paper, wrote the recent editorial
suggesting the change.
"Most ORU women are not
radical," she wrote. "We won't ..
break the rules and make waves. ■
But there are limits to our willing-
ness to 'submit' when the wind chill
factor is -30 degrees.
"It is just plain miserable to walk
across campus with frozen feet and
legs."
