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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In case the supreme court, or any judge thereof, shall order a suspension of the execution of sentence, the suspension shall continue until the proceedings are determined, and after determining the same, if the sentence be confirmed, said court shall appoint a day certain for and order the execution of said sentence, it shall be the duty of the clerk of said court to issue to said warden his warrant under the seal of said court, commanding him to proceed to carry said sentence into execution, at the lime so appointed by the court, which time shall be staled in said warrant; and upon receipt of said warrant it shall be the duty of said warden to cause said sentence to be executed as herein provided, at the time so appointed by the court, and to make due return of said warrant, and of his proceedings thereunder, forthwith to the clerk of the district court before which the conviction was had, who shall cause the same to be recorded as a part of the records of the case.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
