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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It [the finding of the referee from which no appeal was taken] established prima facie that Weber had at one time $10,000, which he was secreting from the estate; and his bare denial, without corroborative proof, was insufficient to overcome such prima facie case. Upon the application to punish for contempt he made no explanation as to how or why it was that this particular sum had disappeared, merely denying that he ever had it. His statement that he had no money when the proceeding for contempt was instituted, without some such explanation, was insufficient, and the judge quite properly held him on contempt for not paying it over. To excuse disobedience of the order by such general denial would make it easy to evade the requirements of the Bankrupt Act [Comp. St. §§ 9585-9656].””
