CHAMBERLAIN MACHINE WORKS v. UNITED STATES
    [59 C. Cls. 972; 270 U. S. 347]
    Judgment was rendered in favor of the United States in the court below. On appeal the judgment was affirmed, the Supreme Court deciding:
    A petition relying upon fraud and coercion to overcome a release of the claim sued on must state distinctly the particular acts, specifying by whom and in what manner they were perpetrated, so that the court may see that, if proven, they would warrant the setting aside of the settlement.
   Mr. Justice SaNeoed

delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court March 1, 1926.
