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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘By his plea of not guilty, the defendant must be understood as denying the truth of the information or indictment, and as not conceding the truth of what the witnesses for the government have sworn to. This is so notwithstanding the fact that no witness for the defendant contradicted the statements of the witnesses for the prosecution. In this condition of the testimony it was the right of the jury to pass upon the credibility of the witnesses, even if unimpeached as to character, and to consider whether, upon applying all the tests of manner, clear or confused statement, prejudice and accuracy of memory, they were to be believed; It was within the. province of the jury to disbelieve the witnesses for the government.’ See also Territory v. Kee (N. M.), 25 Pac. 924 ; State v. Wilson, 62 Kan. 621 , 52 L. R. A. 679; State v. Godman, 145 N. C. 461 , 123 A. S. R. 467; Huffman v. State, 29 Ala. 40 ; Thompson on Trials (2 Ed.), vol. 2, sec. 2149.””
