Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We see no reason in the world why appellant’s mother, his father, his aunt, or some of his associates who testified in the case in his behalf could not have been asked a direct question by the appellant as to whether he had heretofore been convicted of a felony, if he had been in fact, in good faith, relying upon this proposition to escape the results of conviction, or wished to meet the burden imposed on him of showing that he had not been so convicted.””
