Pilot survives crash,
ordeal kills brother
United Press International
ASPEN, Colo. — Two
brothers survived the crash of
their single-engine airplane on a
snowy peak in the Rocky Moun
tains and stayed alive three days
by building a snow cave, but one
of them died just hours before
rescuers arrived.
The survivor, William L-
Clayborn, 39, of Dallas, who was
the plane's pilot, was in stable
but good condition in the inten
sive care ward of Aspen Valley
Hospital Monday. Officials said
he had f rostbitten feet and num
erous cuts.
His brother, Richard D-
Clayborn, 38, of Fresno, Calif.,
died Sunday about five hours
before rescuers reached the
area. Exposure was a major fac
tor in his death, Pitkin County
sheriff’s officer Michael Ken
drick said.
The survivor told rescuers
the single-engine Mooney air
plane crashed Thursday about 3
p.m., shortly after taking off
from the Aspen airport. The
brothers were on a flight from
Fresno to Denver and had not
listed a stop in Aspen in their
flight plan.
No search was started after
the crash because the plane w'as
not reported overdue and no
one knew it had gone down, de
pute John Unger said.
A cross-country skier, Larry
Sorenson, 35, of Milwaukee,
spotted the plane wreckage
Saturday and saw movement.
However, Sorenson could get no
closer than one mile from the
wreckage, near Sawyer Lake
northwest of Aspen.
Because of the remoteness of
the area, it took Sorenson until
midday Sunday to get out and
alert the sheriff’s office, Unger
said.
A private helicopter then car
ried two mountaineers to the
crash before dark, landing ab
out 250 yards from the wreck
age. The plane had crashed into
a chute on the side of the moun
tain, making it extremely diffi
cult to reach, Unger said.
The two mountaineers man
aged to climb up to within 80
feet of the wreckage and yell to
the surviving brother, who then
climbed down the snowy chute
to meet them.
Unger said the mountain re
scue team had postponed plans
to try to bring the victim’s body
out Monday because of the ex
treme avalanche danger. He
said the team hoped to get help
from a larger military helicopter
later in the week, weather per
mitting.

Drawings aid investigation
Artist sketches suspects
United Press International
DALLAS — Dmitri Vail
paints portraits only when he
wants to, charging f rom $ 10,000
to $100,000 for a single work.
People who have sat for him
include Carol Burnett, Jack
Benny, Johnny Carson and
Tony Bennett.
Two recent sketches, howev
er, had no in-person models.
They are drawings sheriff’s offi
cials hope will lead them to the
killers of Roxann Joe Jeeves, 30,
and her 5-year-old son Kris
topher.
Jeeves and the boy were shot
and killed in January in a field
south of Dallas. Authorities said
they had indications the two
were slain during a robbery
attempt, but that the killer appa
rently was frightened away by a
passerby because neither Jeeves’
purse nor her car were taken.
A man and woman resemb
ling the sketches were ques
tioned recently by sheriffs offic
ers, but were released because of
a lack of evidence, a dispatcher
said Monday.
The sketches represent the
third time in four years Dallas
authorities have called on Vail’s
art school to draw composites of
suspected rapists and mur
derers.
“When the sheriff’s depart
ment called this time, they said,
‘Do you know anybody who can
do the drawings?”’ Vail said. “1
said I’d do it. Why turn it over to
someone else?”
The department turned to
Vail, 78, for a simple reason —
he’s the best composite-drawing
artist they know.
“The guy is good, there ain’t
no doubt about it,” W.D. Stout
criminal investigator said. “I
know a lot of people who can do
this, but some don’t have the
patience. It takes a person with
some special qualities. Dmitri
Vail’s got those special qual
ities.”
Vail said he is fascinated by
the work, which he described as
easy.
“I love to do it, I really do,” he
said in his suburban Richardson
studio. “I’m fascinated by it. If I
can help rid the community of
these people, I’m more than
glad to do it.”
However, Vail said he does
not want to become known as a
painter of criminals.
“I don’t want to do this for
other cities. I’m only interested
in the communities where I live
and work. There’s surely no
money in it.”
To make the sketches, Vail
said, he opens his mind.
“It’s the only time I shutJ

gray-blue eyes said.

HOUSTON — Interferon
may help prevent oral and genit
al herpes, a Baylor College of
Medicine researcher says.
Haruki Otsuka, a research
assistant professor of biochemic
al virology, said that because the
protein interferon blocks a
herpes virus gene, it could be
used to fight the ailment.
When one cell is infected!
a virus* it releases interle
which goes to other cells!
alerts them to release anirj
chemicals, he said.
Otsuka has been studying
types of herpes viruses, indf
ing one which causes feverj
ters and could lead to blindf
and encephalitis.
The other type is a se\l
transmitted disease which!
lead to meningitis in adlib)
infants born to inlf!
mothers, the disease couldd

death, Otsuka said.
Herpes is a chronic aih
that Hares up in its inf«
form periodically. It is
dered difficult to fight
the viruses lie dormant in»
tissues between outbreaks I
