RICH ART LOVER
WHO WAS FOOLED
MAY 60 To LAW
William 7. Evans, of MOntclair.
Donor of Paintings TO Ma
ton, Makes Statement.

A lawsuit is threatened by William
T. Evans. a wealthy art connolsseur
of Montclair, to ascertain who was at
fault in selling him three alleged spuri-
Gus paintings which he presented to
the National Gallery of Art, at Wash
ington. D. c., and which were removed
upon being branded fraudulent. Mr..
Evans, who has given s~ixty-nine valu-
able pictures to the government, lives
on the handsome estate which belonged
to George Inness, the artist. He makes
the following statement:
among the first fifty paintings by
American artists which formed a part
of my gift to the National Gallery of
Art, and which, pending congressional
action for the establishment of a suit
able building, arc now on exhibition in
the Corcoran Gallery at Washington,
were two pictures, one called Old Mill,
near st. Cloud the other Near New
port both bearing the name of the
late Homer D. Martin, and a third pic
ture, called Late Afternoon at Med
field,' bearing the name of the late
George Inness.
"They had been in my possession for
several years. and were repeatedly ex-
hibited In public. All three are beauti-
full. They had received the praises of
he most accomplished critics and there
was no reason to doubt that they were
the genuine works of the artists named.
"Rumors, however, obtained circula-
ton a few months ago which cast sucll
doubt upon the authenticity of the pic
lures that / instituted an investigation
to learn their history. AS a result OF
that investigation, l felt it incumbent
upon me to recall the three pictures
referred to. Fortunately ] had at
tached to my gift the condition that
might withdraw any of the pictures
which might not stand the test of time
and substitute others in their place.
1.-THE three pictures have accordingly
been withdrawn from the National
Gallery of Art, and are now in my
possession. l have already purchased
and sent to Washington in place of
them two excellent examples, unques-
tionably genuine. of the work of the
late Homer ID. Martin, and the matter
of a substitution of an authentic eX-
ample of the work of the late George
Inness for the picture attributed to
him will have my attention in due sea-
son.
Several examples of his work are
with my gift to the nation, which now
amounts to sixty-nine pictures in all,
and to which I am adding from time
to time. The three pictures which
have been Withdrawn were purchased
