Anniston. August 19.=( Special D. Judge John Pelham of this judicial cir cult has returned from Talladega. and when seen today regarding an interview sent out from that city in reference to the blanket injunction recently issued for the Louisville and Nashville railroad by Judge Jones of the federal court said that he had been incorrectly quoted.
 Judge Pelham says his exact state ment was this: Ut does not seem to me that federal judge can interfere with the enforcement of the criminal laws of a state by general injunction" and said he would call the matter to 1 the attention of his court and the county officials and recommend that it be tested.
 He says that he does not think it becoming in a judicial officer to say that he would require" a grand jury. sheriffs and solicitors to act in a case of this kind as he was quoted as say ing in Talladega.
 Sheriff W. c. LeGrand was asked this morning what he would do if Judge Pelham should recommend an ar rest to him. He said: T would obey that paper" referring to the injunc- tion restraining him from arresting em- ployes of the Louisville and Nashville railroad in Calhoun county. the papers having been served on him last Sat urday night by Chief Deputy Marshal i Ashley.
 He said, however, that the result of the conference between Governor Conner and his attorneys to be held in Birming- ham today might change his attitude.
 Solicitor Wiley c. Tunstall is still as silent as the statue of Ramese H. and when asked about his attitude, he re- piled; T decline to be interviewed"
