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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As have so many others, appellant now urges, on the basis of Prince v. United States, 1957, 352 U.S. 322 , 77 S.Ct. 403 , 1 L.Ed.2d 370 , that, since a larceny actually took place, the entry with felonious intent, Section 2113(a), merged into the larceny, Section 2113(b), so that the maximum sentence was 10 years. For the reasons pointed out in United States v. Williamson, 5 Cir., 1958, 255 F.2d 512 , we disagree. To this may be added Purdon v. United States, 10 Cir., 1957, 249 F.2d 822 , certiorari denied 355 U.S. 913 , 78 S.Ct. 341 , 2 L.Ed.2d 273 ; * *” (citing other cases).”
