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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Conceding that the Board of Parole is without jurisdiction to issue a warrant for, and retake, a prisoner after the expiration of ‘the term or terms of the prisoner’s sentence’, 18 U.S.C.A. §§ 714 to 719, the appellant cannot complain. The warrant was issued on February 24, 1936, and within ‘the term or terms of the prisoner’s sentence’. Before the warrant was executed and within ‘the term or terms of the prisoner’s sentence’ he entered his plea of guilty, was sentenced and delivered to the custody of the Warden of the penitentiary for a new and different offense, committed in another jurisdiction. “During the period for which appellant was sentenced for the new and different offense, he was not in legal custody of the Warden upon the parole violator’s warrant. Jurisdiction of the Board of Parole over the appellant under the original sentence was effectively interrupted and suspended by his confinement under the latter offense. Service of the two sentences was not concurrent. He occupied the legal status of an escaped convict, or as if he had not been apprehended.””
