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 443 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““As the indictment in this case charges that the conspiracy was entered into in the city of Washington, it becomes unnecessary to consider whether an indictment will lie within the jurisdiction where the overt act was committed, although there are many authorities to that effect. King v. Brisac, 4 East, 164; People v. Mather, 4 Wend. (N. Y.) 229 , 21 Am. Dec. 122 ; Commonwealth v. Gillespie, 7 Serg. & R. (Pa.) 469, 10 Am. Dec. 475 ; Noyes v. State, 41 N. J. Daw, 418; Commonwealth v. Corlies, 3 Brewst. (Pa.) 575. We have ourselves decided that, if the conspiracy be entered into within the jurisdiction of the trial court, the indictment will lie there, though the overt act is shown to have been committed in another jurisdiction, or even in a foreign country. Dealy v. United States, 152 U. S. 539 , 14 Sup. Ct. 680 , 38 L. Ed. 545 ; Palliser v. United States, 136 U. S. 257 , 10 Sup. Ct. 1034 , 34 L. Ed. 514 ; King v. Brisac, 4 East, Rep. 164; Rev. St. § 731 [U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 585].””

2. “"But the averment of the' making of the unlawful agreement relates to the acts of all the accused, while overt acts may be.done by one or more less than the entire number, and, although essential to the completion of the crime, are still, 'in • a sense, something apart from the mere conspiracy, being ‘an act to 'effect the object of the conspiracy.’ For this reason, among others, it seems to us that where, as here, the averment respecting the formation of the conspiracy refers to no other clause for certainty as to its meaning, it should be interpreted as it, stands.””

3. ““Whatever may be the rule in equity as to the necessity of proving an actual loss or damage to the plaintiff, we think a ease is made out under this statute by proof of a conspiracy to defraud and the commission of an overt act, notwithstanding the United States may have received a consideration for the lands and suffered no pecuniary loss.””
