Jim ERSKINE, Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner: 1920-2005
To A.Y. JACKSON, the man who cracked the Great Canadian Art Fraud
case of 1964 was always 'my inspector.' The policeman known as
'Big Jim' went on to head the Ontario Provincial Police
By Carol COOPER,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Friday, June
10, 2005, Page S9
In November, 1962, Ontario Provincial Police officer Jim
ERSKINE
started on a new case. J. Russell
HARPER, then curator of Canadian
art at the National Gallery of Canada, had asked the force to
investigate a flood of Canadian forgeries of the works of well-known
artists, including the Group of Seven.
After a lot of dogged legwork, Mr.
ERSKINE, appointed two years
earlier as the Ontario Provincial Police's first head of its
new anti-rackets squad, eventually cracked the case that came
to be known as the Great Canadian Art Fraud.
It counts as only one highlight of Mr.
ERSKINE's distinguished
38-year career with the Ontario Provincial Police. As well, he
saw a hostage-taking incident successfully resolved, oversaw
emergency response at the Mississauga train derailment and ended
his career as the Ontario Provincial Police's commissioner.
Then▼ premier William
DAVIS appointed him commissioner, as well
as head of a campaign begun in 1983 to end drinking and driving.
"He was a professional police officer," Mr.
DAVIS said. "It was
his life. He was completely dedicated."
Mr. ERSKINE's break in the art-fraud came, according to a May,
1964, issue of Canadian Weekly, when a ruckus broke out at the
Toronto art-auction house, Ward-Price. Some in attendance at
a sale questioned the authenticity of Group of Seven works on
offer. The scene led one purchaser of a work purportedly by Group
of Seven artist J.E.H. MacDonald to take it to the Toronto Art
Gallery, now the Art Gallery of Ontario, for authentication.
When the purchase proved fake, the gallery informed Mr.
ERSKINE,
who immediately seized paintings and records from Ward-Price.
With the combined efforts of Mr.
ERSKINE, artist A.J.
CASSON
and National Gallery conservator Dr. Nathan
STOLOW, 91 paintings
were confirmed as forgeries. The Ward-Price records showed that
the fakes were sold on behalf of Leslie
LEWIS, who operated a
studio gallery at the back of Ward-Price. Mr.
LEWIS had in turn
obtained some of those works from another dealer, Neil
SHARKEY.
Further investigation led to three painters, all of whom had
created the works for other purposes and did not know their paintings
were being passed off as being from more prominent artists. The
two dealers pleaded guilty and were jailed.
A headline from a story about the fraud in an April, 1964, issue
of Maclean's referred to Mr.
ERSKINE as a "smart cop." As a result,
Mr. ERSKINE came to be good Friends with some members of the
Group of Seven, including A.J.
CASSON, with whom he worked on
the case. In addition, he was at Fred
VARLEY's bedside at the
artist's death and gained the confidence of A.Y.
JACKSON.
Born in Guelph, Ontario, to Scottish immigrants, James Laird
ERSKINE was the oldest of four children. His stonemason father
worked on many buildings in and around the city, including some
for the University of Guelph and the stone wall along the Niagara
River.
Mr. ERSKINE obtained a Grade 10 education and, after serving
underage in a field ambulance and medical corps and then an artillery
reserve, joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, serving as a flight
engineer on Lancaster bombers during the Second World War.
When stationed in England, Mr.
ERSKINE was wounded twice, once
while helping defuse bombs. One of the bombs exploded, Mr.
ERSKINE
blacked out and awoke to find himself among dead comrades.
Once on leave in London, he helped rescue children from a bombed
school. Many students were killed or severely injured. "It took
me years to get over that incident," he told the Guelph Daily
Mercury in 2000. "I would wake up when I heard my own kids crying
and break into a cold sweat."
Upon his return from the war in 1945, Mr.
ERSKINE joined the
Ontario Provincial Police. As well as solving the Great Canadian
Art Fraud, he negotiated the release of four children being held
hostage near London, Ontario, by an armed, escaped convict, Donald
CLINE.
The con demanded cash but, according to one of Mr.
ERSKINE's
sons, Bruce, the incident took place on the weekend during a
time with limited banking hours and no automated teller machines.
To get the cash, Mr.
ERSKINE borrowed it from a local businessman.
After collecting it, the then-deputy commissioner and a colleague
sat in the back of a cruiser and wrote down the serial numbers
of each bill so they could be traced later.
During the incident, the hostage-taker held one of the children
to the window, threatening to kill him. A gunshot sounded, the
window shattered and the child fell. "My father said he felt
sick to his stomach because he thought the child had died," the
younger Mr.
ERSKINE said.
In fact, the gunman had shot out the window above the child's
head and simultaneously dropped the child.
Before handing over any money, Mr.
ERSKINE insisted that three
children be released. Once he received his booty, Mr.
CLINE released
the fourth and oldest child before taking off. He was later arrested.
At one point, tiring of the constant media swarm during the lengthy
standoff, Mr.
ERSKINE sent another officer out for coffee, instructing
him to go in a marked cruiser with lights flashing, sirens screaming
and tires screeching. The press fell for it and followed like
bees to honey.
At 6 feet 5, Mr.
ERSKINE was commonly known as "Big Jim." He
also happened to look a lot like Errol Flynn. Once, in Los Angeles
to bring an extradited man back home, he found himself constantly
approached by curious women on the lookout for movie stars.
In November of 1979, 17 years after beginning on the art-fraud
case, Mr. ERSKINE once again played an important part in a major
Canadian event. A freight train carrying volatile materials including
propane, chlorine and caustic soda left the tracks in Mississauga.
Some of its chemical contents exploded and caught fire, releasing
flames and vapours into the air early on a Sunday morning.
Fearing for the safety of the city's residents, officials ordered
approximately 218,000 people from their homes in the largest
peacetime evacuation in North American history. It lasted close
to a week.
As director of emergency response, Mr.
ERSKINE worked closely
with Mississauga Mayor Hazel
McCALLION during the disaster. That
closeness became literal. The mayor had sprained her ankle and
could not walk well, so Mr.
ERSKINE picked her up and carried
her to one of their daily press conferences.
Throughout his career, Mr.
ERSKINE took on several leadership
roles, including president of the Ontario Association of Chiefs
of Police in 1976. Appointed a deputy commissioner of the Ontario
Provincial Police in 1975, he became commissioner in 1981. He
retired in 1983.
As well as heading the drinking-driving campaign, Mr.
ERSKINE
was for 10 years the honorary colonel of the 11th Field Artillery
Regiment.
With his death, the man who solved so many mysteries may have
left one behind.
According to his son Bruce, Group of Seven artist A.Y.
JACKSON
always called Mr.
ERSKINE "my inspector." Once, when the younger
Mr. ERSKINE visited Mr.
JACKSON, the artist confided that he
knew the truth about the mysterious 1917 death of artist Tom
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON and the only person he had ever told was "my inspector."
When asked about it, Big Jim
ERSKINE denied knowing anything.
James Laird
ERSKINE was born on September 8, 1920, in Guelph,
Ontario He died on May 22, 2005, in Mississauga. He was 84. He
leaves his wife Jeanette, sons Bruce, Rick and Barry, and one
sister. His oldest son Daniel died last fall.

John BAND,
Executive And
Art
Collector (1915-2005)
Navy officer who hunted U-boats during the Second World War returned
home to become an insurance broker and a collector of Canadian
art
By Sandra MARTIN,
Saturday,
September 24, 2005, Page S9
Although he was a distinguished veteran and a former insurance
executive, John
BAND found his true calling in companionship
and art. He was passionate about collecting, gardening, fitness,
the navy, red wine and crossword puzzles. A good listener, he
was the master of drawing people out.
Born into a family of prominent Canadian art collectors, he inherited
his parents' eye and their zeal for collecting. "I wish I knew
the first time I shook his hand," said art collector Ken
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON,
chairman of The Globe and Mail. "I think it was in the mid-50s
and it must have been about art."
For half a century, the two men discussed upcoming auction sales,
although their Friendship meant they never bid against each other.
"I respected his judgment on paintings," Mr.
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON said. Whenever
Mr. BAND was "adamant" about a picture, such as The Steamship
Quebec, painted by Cornelius Krieghoff in 1853, "I jolly well
bought it. There wasn't going to be any doubt about that," Mr.
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON admitted.
"He was always around the corner from my house and up here,"
tapping his forehead with his finger, "he was right beside me
all the time," Mr.
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON said. "I never got along with anybody
better."
Mr. BAND's love of art was ingrained growing up in a home where
Arthur LISMER and Fred
VARLEY were frequent guests and painting
was a major dinner table topic. "John had a very keen eye for
choice works and he sometimes went about acquiring them as though
he was a detective," said Lisa Balfour
BOWEN, a family friend
and art critic. "To my knowledge, he was filling gaps in his
collection virtually until the time of his death."
There was nothing passive about Mr.
BAND. "He spoke his mind,
but it was something that you welcomed. There were no shades.
He was always direct and clear," said Dennis
REID, chief curator
of the Art Gallery of Ontario. "I have to say I loved him."
John Trumbull
BAND was the eldest child and only
son of insurance
broker and art collector Charles Shaw
BAND and his wife, Helen
WARREN.
His parents moved to New York in 1914 when Mr.
BAND was
transferred to the American office of James Carruthers and Co.
Mr. BAND was born there a year later.
While they lived in the United States, the
BANDs bought canvases
painted by the Hudson River Valley artists. They sold that collection
when they returned to Toronto in 1923 with John and his younger
sisters, Priscilla, Barbara and Helen.
"They wanted to collect what was important in the life of Canada
their country and the countryside they knew," said Mr.
BAND's
stepdaughter, management consultant and corporate director Jalynn
BENNETT.
The
BANDs bought an island in Georgian Bay and became
good Friends with several members of the Group of Seven.
"Their home was a testament to the art of the Twenties and Thirties
in Canada," said Mr.
REID. "
The dining room was stupendous because
it was all Lawren
HARRIS's
Arctic sketches. There must have been
10 of them."
Two years after the
BANDs moved back to Toronto, they sent John
to Trinity College School in Port Hope. He was 10. His daughter
Sarah, an entrepreneur and retailer, has his first school report
framed in her bathroom. "He is rather backward for his age, but
he has ability and is a neat and careful worker," his teacher
wrote.
In 1929, the year of the stock-market crash, the school's main
building burned down. Hard economic times and the school's rebuilding
difficulties persuaded his parents to withdraw him in 1931, the
year he would have graduated, and send him to Jarvis Collegiate
Institute in Toronto instead.
Nevertheless, Mr.
BAND was a committed Trinity College School
old boy. With his family's help, he gave himself an 80th birthday
gift in 1995 by endowing an annual history prize.
Mr. BAND went to work in 1937 for Irish and Molson, a firm of
insurance brokers that became Marsh and McLennan and later Marsh
Canada. After war broke out, he enlisted in the Navy and was
commissioned a Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer
Reserve in 1941. About the same time, he met Mona
MORROW (later
CAMPBELL,) daughter of financier and company director Frederick
MORROW.
They married in 1942.
During the war, Mr.
BAND served on H.M.C.S. Swansea, a river-class
frigate in 1943 as first lieutenant. The ship, which was known
as a happy and successful one, helped to sink three German U-boats
in the North Atlantic in March and April of 1944 and assisted
in essential enemy sweeps before the invasion of Normandy in
June of 1944. He transferred to H.M.C.S. Stone Town, another
frigate, with the rank of Lieutenant Commander, that November
and served as its commanding officer until August of 1945.
For decades afterward, Mr.
BAND caught up with his wartime cronies
at an annual navy lunch he organized, inviting specialist speakers
on military subjects. One of the regulars was Tony
GRIFFIN, another
distinguished naval veteran. "There were very few officers I
could put in the same class as John
BAND," he said this week.
"He knew how to handle ships and men and he had a keen appreciation
of the Navy."
Michael WHITBY, senior naval historian at the Department of National
Defence, agrees with that assessment. "He was one of the typical
Canadians who volunteered to go fight the war and who did an
outstanding job." Mr.
BAND's strength was to lead by gentle persuasion
and quiet example. On Swansea, for example, he insisted that
classical music was played on Sundays.
When peace came, he went back to Toronto and
to Marsh and McLennan,
working mainly on Toronto establishment accounts until he retired
in 1980 as a senior executive. He needlessly regretted that the
war disrupted his plans to go to university, according to Paul
O'DONOGHUE, a business colleague from Marsh and McLennan who
became a lifelong friend. "He was the best-informed man I ever
met."
Mr. BAND and his wife
Mona had three children, John, Sarah and
Victoria (Vickie), but the marriage fell apart in the mid-1950s.
After an acrimonious divorce and custody settlement, Mr.
BAND
married Elizabeth Lumbers
ROGERS, a widow with two children (Jalynn
BENNETT and Jennifer
ROGERS,) in 1959.
His son lived with them and his daughters stayed with their mother.
"We weren't allowed to see him for a long time," said his daughter
Sarah, who became extremely close to her father in the past few
decades. "He was my best friend," she said this week. "We talked
four times a day."
As a stepfather, Mr.
BAND was "warm and caring and curious about
our lives without being intrusive," says Ms.
BENNETT, who was
15 when her mother remarried.
He was very outgoing and had a keen sense of whimsy. He once
jokingly confided plans for his funeral: a procession down Bay
Street at noon with a Brinks truck following the hearse with
a big sign on top saying: "Who says you can't take it with you?"
Some years after his second wife
Betty died in 1992, Mr.
BAND
formed a new attachment with Patty
FISCHER, the former wife of
industrialist Michael
DEGROOTE, owner of Laidlaw Transport and
the Hamilton Tiger Cats.
Mr. BAND turned 90 in late August. He celebrated his birthday
two weeks ago at a party he organized himself at the Toronto
Hunt Club, where he'd belonged ever since his mother had bought
him a membership for his 20th birthday.
His friend Ken
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON tried to give him a small J.E.H. MacDonald
painting of the family island in Georgian Bay as a birthday gift.
Knowing the value of the painting, Mr.
BAND refused to accept
it, although he delighted in pointing out familiar landmarks.
Finally, he agreed to "borrow" the painting after attaching a
note to the back saying it belonged to Mr.
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON. He only had
a few days to enjoy it. The painting has now come back to Mr.
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON, layered with "priceless" sentimental value. He plans
to hang it near his desk in his office until he gives it eventually
to the Art Gallery of Ontario. "But that paper is going to stay
with that picture," he insisted. "That's a condition."
Last
Tuesday,
Sarah
BAND took her father to a medical appointment
where he learned that his cancer was terminal. He went home,
made a final "to do" list to settle his affairs and then "crumpled."
John Trumbull
BAND was born in New York on August 25, 1915. He
died on Sunday of metastasized sarcoma. He is survived by one
sister, three children, two stepchildren, 10 grandchildren and
11 great-grandchildren.
A private family burial took place on Thursday. A memorial service
is planned for September 30 at noon at St. Paul's Anglican Church
in Toronto.
