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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““To determine which of the various statutes relating to escape is applicable to the situation at hand, consideration of each of the sections is required. K. S. A. 21-732, 21-733, 21-734 and 21-737 all relate to the confinement of a person ‘for any term less than for life.’ In 21-733, supra, specific reference is made to confinement in the penitentiary, while in both 21-734, supra, and 21-737, supra, at hard labor is specifically mentioned in connection with the confinement. Clearly, the confinement mentioned in each of these sections has reference to sentence resulting from a felony conviction. A study of the severity of the sentence prescribed for a violation of each of tírese sections also discloses they relate to felony convictions.” (pp. 358, 359.)”
