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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In U. S. v. Clark, 37 Fed. 106 , the same question was passed upon by Mr. Justice Brewer, then circuit judge for this circuit; it being therein held that an indictment charging the defendant with knowingly depositing- in the post office, for mailing and delivery, a certain lewd and obscene picture, was sufficient, as it would be held that the word ‘knowingly’ qualifies the full act charged to be done, and is not limited to the mere act of depositing in the post office. Following this ruling, it must be held that the indictment in the present case is sufficient in this particular, and the demurrer is therefore overruled.” U. S. v. Nathan, 61 Fed. 936 .”
