View Entry 1936 East Tennessee National Bank v. Roy W. Shipley, et al. Knox Notes

Shipley borrowed $3000+ to buy stock in Sterchi Bros. Stores. To induce bank to make the loan, Sterchi officer C. C. Rutherford guaranteed the bank against any loss on the stock for 3 years. The stock depreciated to a value of $300, so Rutherford reimbursed the bank only $1000. Court ordered Rutherford to pay debt, and Shipley was liable for repaying the remainder of the loan. Depositions: M. W. Egerton, O. B. Henderson, Ralph Davidson, C. S. LaRue. Also see ET 1049 for additional part of case.
