The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 23, June 3, 2001, Article 7 WOLFE TONE FOLLOWUP Saul Teichman writes: "I would like to thank those who responded regarding the Wolfe Tone trial. I have forwarded the information to Douglas Mudd at the Smithsonian and placed the responses at the bottom of the original webpage. On the pattern front, I have added color images of all the die and hub trials in the Library Company of Philadelphia to the uspatterns.com website. I think your subscribers, especially those interested in Gobrecht dollars, will find some of these especially interesting. Thanks again. http://uspatterns.com/uspatterns/libcomofphil.html Nine new or misdescribed issues were discovered which are summarized on the page below. http://uspatterns.com/uspatterns/9newsplasfou.html " Steve Pellegrini adds: "Does Harold know that the actor Franchot Tone was a direct descendant of Wolfe Tone? Or that one day in 1959 Franchot Tone and some friends walked into McSorley's Bar in New York City for a couple of 'pops.' Inside they found Irish playwright Brendan Behan holding court at the bar. Behan was in town with the cast of his play 'The Quare Fella' which was running off Broadway at the time. Tone, in the casual American way, greeted Behan with, "Well, hello Brendan, you old S.O.B." Having never made the actor's acquaintance Behan took this as a maternal slight and walloped Tone with a haymaker - knocking him right on his ass. Of course, he was told who he'd decked and his connection to the great Wolfe Tone. Contrite, Behan helped Tone up, brushed him off and threw an arm around him. For the rest of the afternoon Behan serenaded his new friends with Rebel Songs and bottomless pints of Stout."
