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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A confession is only to be excluded on the ground of undue influence when it is elicited by temporal inducement, that is by threat, promise, or hope of favor, held out- to the party in respect to his escape from the charge against him by a person in authority, under circumstances likely to lead to a false statement, or where there is reason to presume that such person appeared to the party to sanction such, a threat or promise. If the influence applied was such as to make the defendant believe his condition would be bettered by making a confession, true or falsej this excludes; but if not, the confession is admissible.””
