9a. Hang 'em high anyway, if they've no real claim to fame!
10 letters
??I?A?I?N?

I've seen this answered as Imitations (paintings with no real claim to fame).

another one.
3 down. This one goes out in red--what a card !
5 letters ?I?E?
could it be diner. the diner club card.
is this extinct now?

Did you think Imitations was OK?

PS I've seen the other one answered as both Diner and Joker (a card which is often red.)

if IMITATIONS fits., it gives the I in 3 down which would or might give DINER,.
joker would give the letter O to start 9a.(above)
nothing fits there.
must be DINER
now I see it anagram of IN RED.
cheers

Glad you're sorted, Laurel. It doesn't look my kind of crossword, it's too quirky at times.
