Mr. Chief Justice Stone,
announced by Mr. Justice Black.
This is a proceeding in bankruptcy on objections to the allowance of petitioner’s claim in bankruptcy based upon a money judgment acquired against the bankrupt -before the bankruptcy. Respondents objected to allowance of the claim on the ground that, so far as here relevant, the judgment was procured by fraud, that is, by perjured allegations in the complaint in the suit in which the judgment was rendered, and by perjured testimony as to the value of property alleged to have been converted by the defendant.
