Silvers had paid 5000 for a
dusty old painting Of Venice

When it was cleaned, it looked
like a work of j. M. w. Turner.
She searched some art books

Turner, a reproduction Of her

made to the head Of the Tate
Gallery in London, where is
housed the largest collection of
Turner's in the world. The
Tate's director recommended a
Boston art expert as the best
American authority on Turner.
The Boston expert studied
the SilverS' 5000 painting. If it
proved genuine, it would be
worth at least $4,000. After
