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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The third assignment of error is based upon the ruling of the court below in admitting the testimony of one Saussy, a witness for the State, to the effect that Miss Ives said to him that Kirby (defendant) had shot Ed. (the deceased) which led him to go to the scene of the shooting. This was objected to as being hearsay evidence. It was proper for the witness to say that he went to the scene of the shooting because of something said to him by Miss Ives, but not to repeat the assertions of fact made by her in said conversation, the defendant not being present.””
