The appellate court reverses the Hamilton County decision in Hinthen v. Moore over whether inserting a rate of interest into blank notes, signed by the principal and payee but without the surety’s knowledge, alters the instrument. It holds that if the notes were perfect when signed by the surety, the alteration issue may release the surety unless the agreement to bear interest changes the endorser’s implied authority. The Dekalb circuit court’s ruling in McCormick and Ott v. Wabash is also mentioned regarding juror withdrawal and court conduct.

Anders of United States encaustic tile works pushed the move to clear the ground for his company, while neighbors complained it would end Lafayette Street and hamper access to their properties.
