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.

“"* * * while it may be permitted to be shown that the prosecutrix, in a case of rape, made a complaint immediately or soon after the alleged attack, details may not be shown under examination by the state. * * * * * * * * * "* * * Most cases * * * that have passed on the question consider that the naming of the defendant is part of the details and so cannot be shown. * * * If, accordingly, the testimony of the prosecutrix is equivalent to naming the defendant, the order to strike should probably have been sustained. * * *"”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Elmer v. State · Feeney v. State“[I]t is one of the essential qualities of a court of justice that its proceedings should be public, and that all parties who may be desirous of hearing what is going on, if there be room in the place for that purpose,—provided they do not interrupt the proceedings, and provided there is no specific reason why they should be removed,—have a right to be present for the purpose of hearing what is going on.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Gannett Co Inc v. A“YOU ARE INSTRUCTED the charge of rape is likely to create a strong prejudice against an accused. It is a charge easy to make and hard to disprove. Thus, you should bear in mind this difficulty of defending against such a charge and consider carefully all the evidence and instructions of the Court.”
