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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Agreement is the primary element of a conspiracy. The formalities of an agreement are not necessary and are ususally lacking since the mark of a successful conspiracy is secrecy. `The agreement may be shown "if there be a concert of action, all the parties working together understandingly, with a single design for the accomplishment of a common purpose.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“It is well settled that a formal agreement of the parties concerned is not essential to the formation of a conspiracy. It is sufficient if there be concert of action, all the parties working together understandingly, with a single design for the accomplishment of a common purpose.”
