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 95 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is urged further that the evidence is not sufficiently clear and convincing that the false testimony was given ‘knowingly and fraudulently.’ While the statute does not withhold a discharge from a bankrupt who has testify falsely through error, its benefits are intended only for honest debtors. Those who purposely answer untruthfully concerning material matters propounded upon their examination deserve no favor. It is true that it is Lederer’s (creditor’s) testimony against the bankrupt’s. But the objecting creditors need only prove their allegations, as in other civil cases, by a fair preponderance of the evidence ... (parentheticals supplied for clarity).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““It cannot be doubted that the creditors are entitled to inquire into what property has passed through the bankrupt’s hands during a period prior to his bankruptcy. ... we think that wide latitude must be accorded to such an examination, and that the materiality of the false oath will not depend upon whether in fact the falsehood has been detrimental to the creditors.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The words of the statute requiring that the testimony be given ‘knowingly and fraudulently’ mean no more than ‘an intentional untruth in a matter material to the issue which is itself material.’ ” [Quoting In re Troeder, 150 F. 710, 713 (1st Cir. 1906).”
