The check below has a special story, written in the Chattanooga Story by John Wilson, pp 205. A stonemason named Mike Finnigan was given the contract for building a stone wall around the courthouse square. He secured J.J. Sullivan as surety for the job. However, Finnigan "went crazy" and Sullivan was left to compete the work. He did so, and the courthouse wall that was built was greatly admired. However, Finnigan had greatly underbid on the job, and Sullivan lost money on the project. He sued to try to make a profit, but the court denied the claim.
