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.

““ ‘The rule of law;’ says Greenleaf on Evidence, § 219, * * * ‘demands that the confession shall have been made voluntarily, without' the appliances of hope or fear by any other person.’ And whether it was so made or not is to be determined upon consideration of the age, situation and character of the person and the circumstances" under which it was made. It must not be obtained by the exertion of any improper influence.” Authorities cited.”
