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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'•Under our practice, an indictment must riot charge more than one offense, but it may set forth that offense in different forms, under different counts. Or. Trac. Act, § 241. * * * The object of allowing different counts is to provide against fatal variances between the material parts of the indictment and the proofs brought forward in their support. Where a material fact is doubtful, — that is to say, where it is uncertain as to which of two or more conditions is the true one, and either is equally effectual in completing the offense, — it is proper to frame a count embracing each, in order that there may be at the trial no fatal variance between the matters alleged and the matters i>roved.””
