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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * The time begins to run only after a warrant has issued for the retaking of the prisoner and ‘he is returned to the custody of the Attorney General under said warrant * * * ’ His return to ‘custody’ does not determine whether he shall be required to serve out his sentence but only when that service shall begin. Consequently the term ‘custody’ can only refer to the immediate physical control of the prisoner, regardless of whether his parole violation has temporarily made him inaccessible to the Attorney General’s power by warrant to apprehend and reincarcerate him.””
