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.

1. “An application for continuance on account of the absence of a witness must be supported by the affidavit of the party, his agent, or attorney, stating: (1) The name and residence of such witness, or if unknown, the efforts made to ascertain the same; (2) The testimony such witness would give if present, in narrative form or by questions and answers as in a deposition; that the affiant believes such testimony to be true and knows of no other person by whom the same facts may be proven, or if he knows of such other person, then the reasons why the testimony of such witness is necessary; (3) The reason why the deposition of the witness was not taken; (4) What efforts have been made to obtain the attendance of the witness or his testimony; (5) Facts showing ground for belief that the attendance or deposition of such witness may be procured at the next term of the court.”

3. “[A] probationer is entitled to a two-step due process proceeding before his probation may be revoked. The first step — a probable cause hearing to determine if there are reasonable grounds to believe that probation violations have occurred and to hold him for further hearing — is not involved here. The appellant does not contest the fact that he escaped twice and where violations are admitted, no probable cause hearing is necessary.”
