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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As a final contention, counsel for the defendant take the position the court erred in denying the request that the testimony to determine the admissibility of the confession be heard in the absence of the jury. It is impossible to see how the defendant could have been prejudiced by the action of the court of which he complains. Doubtlessly, to facilitate the dispatch of business, the court permitted the testimony concerning the character of the confession to be given in the hearing of the jury. Inasmuch as the court decided the confession was admissible, no error was committed in permitting the jury to receive the evidence while the court was acting as a tribunal to estimate its competency.””
