The railroad company removed a suit brought against it and some of its employés for damages for personal injuries from the state court into the Federal court; the state court declined to surrender jurisdiction and the plaintiff in that suit (appellee here) recovered judgment which was affirmed. In the Federal court motions to remand were overruled and judgment entered in favor of the railroad company. Thereupon the railroad company brought this suit in equity in the Circuit Court of the United States to enjoin the enforcement of the judgment entered in the state court in favor of the appellee in this case. The Circuit Court dismissed the case for want of jurisdiction.
Mr. Pleweti Lee and Mr. Edmund F. Trabue for appellant.
Mr. John G. Miller for appellee.

Judgment affirmed with costs.
