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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court rendering the judgment complained of had jurisdiction of the class of crimes of which the second count is an example. 28 U.S. C.A. § 41(2). The statute upon which the second count was based, is not urged to be unconstitutional. The sole point is that the indictment fails to allege a crime. That question was one which the court rendering the judgment had authority to determine. Under these circumstances, no inquiry will be made into such question on habeas corpus.” Citing Knewel v. Egan, 268 U.S. 442, 446 , 45 S.Ct. 522 , 69 L.Ed. 1036 and other cases.”
