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.

““Such requests will generally be granted by a trial court and yet the matter rests almost wholly within the sound judicial discretion of such court. The trial court, in tlic present case, exercised its discretion and we cannot see that it abused its discretion and, therefore, we cannot see that it committed any material error by its refusal. No special reasons were given why the witnesses should toe separated.””
