“(a) The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any civil action of inter-pleader or in the nature of interpleader ... if ... (2) the plaintiff has deposited such money or property or has paid the amount of the loan or other value of such instrument or the amount due under such obligation into the registry of the court, there to abide the judgment of the court, or has given bond payable to the clerk of the court in such amount and with such surety as the court or judge may deem proper, conditioned upon the compliance by the plaintiff with the future order or judgment of the court with respect to the subject matter of the controversy.”

2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“As a general matter, 'surety contracts are subject to the same rules of construction as other contracts. The terms of surety obligations, therefore, "should be interpreted as a whole, and not out of the context of all the other terms.”
