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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where the accused at a former trial or at a preliminary hearing once enjoyed his right to be confronted by a witness against him and had the privilege of cross-examining the witness, if at a subsequent trial, involving the same issue, it satisfactorily appears that the witness has died, become insane, or has permanently left the state without collusion or procurement of either party, and that his presence with due diligence cannot be had, or where the witness is sick and unable to testify or his whereabouts cannot with due diligence be ascertained, a transcript of the testimony of such witness may be introduced as the evidence of such absent witness. “Where it appears that the attendance of a resident witness could have been had by the exercise of due diligence, the mere showing that on the day of trial the witness is temporarily in another state on private business is not a sufficient predicate to authorize the reception of his evidence taken at the preliminary hearing. * * * “Before a transcript of testimony given at a former trial or preliminary hearing can be read because of the absence of the witness from the state, a showing of due diligence to obtain his presence as a witness must be made before the transcripted evidence is admissible.””
