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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Syl. 1. After trial and conviction in federal court on indictment alleging jurisdictional fact that offense was committed within Indian Reservation, jurisdiction of federal court could not be challenged in habeas corpus proceeding on ground that land on which offense was committed had been allotted and patented to an Indian in severalty and thereafter sold to a white citizen and was therefore not within Indian Reservation. “Syl. 2. Where jurisdiction of court is in issue in trial court and is dependent upon facts alleged, the finding of jurisdiction is conclusive on the parties in a collateral attack regardless of whether question of jurisdiction was raised by accused.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“In appellant's petition he states that he did not object to the jurisdiction of the court in the trial of the criminal case for the reason, he now alleges that he was not aware of the fact that the store building in which the crime was committed was not within the reservation. The decision of the court in the criminal case upon the factual question of jurisdiction is equally conclusive whether or not it was raised by the defendant.”
