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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Whereas, His Excellency, William Scranton, Governor of the State of Pennsylvania, by requisition dated the 4th day of March, 1964 has demanded of me, as Governor of the State of Alabama, the surrender of Joseph Aldio who, it appears, is charged by Bench Warrant, in the county of Le-high in said State, with the crime of Fraudulent Conversion and Cheating by Fraudulent Pretense, as shown by certified copy of Bench Warrant (a duly certified copy of which Bench Warrant accompanies said requisition) and it appearing that said Joseph Aldio has fled from justice in said State and taken refuge in the State of Alabama.””
