    GREAT DEBATE STILL RAGES

    The "Great Debate" over the authenticity of a number of
    Western gold assay bars, discussed in depth in earlier
    E-Sylum issues, lives on in legal proceedings. As
    reported in The April 1, 2001 issue (v4#14), a libel
    suit filed in New York against Prof. Theodore V. Buttrey
    by Stack's LLC and John Jay Ford, Jr. was dismissed by
    the court in December 2000 for lack of jurisdiction.

    In the latest development, reported by David L. Ganz in
    his "Under the Glass" column in the April 24, 2001 issue
    of Numismatic News (p28-29), the plaintiffs have refiled
    their complaint in the Northern District of Illinois, where
    the remarks in question were made at a forum at the
    American Numismatic Association convention in August
    1999.

    Ganz reported: "Reached in England, Buttrey remarked
    on the dismissal and refiling: "The plaintiffs have now
    reopened their case in Illinois, where I spoke on the bars
    at the 1999 ANA meeting. While that is proceeding I
    continue to work on this material and am preparing a
    set of essays on various aspects of the Western gold
    bars, which I believe to be fraudulent."
