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.

1. ““In the instant ease we find the important fact that the witness could not be produced to testify before the jury established without fault of the prosecution as positively as though she were ill, insane or dead. In 'this very case, upon the same issue, at the preliminary hearing, defendant was confronted by the witness and by his counsel availed himself of the opportunity for full cross-examination. Under the circumstances shown his right to be confronted by the witness was not abridged.””

2. ““If there were a former trial on which he (witness) was sworn it seems allowable to make use of his deposition, or of the minutes of his examination, if the witness has since deceased, or is insane, or sick and unable to testify, or has been summoned but appears to have been kept away by the opposite party.” Cooley on Constitutional Limitations (7th Ed.), p. 451, or 4th Ed. p. 318.”
