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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is also argued that the indictment fails to charge that the defendant caused the letter to be delivered `according to the direction thereon.' This is without substance. The indictment charges that he caused the letter `to be delivered,' and there is a presumption of delivery to the addressee. Hagner v. United States, 285 U.S. 427 , 431, 52 S.Ct. 417, 419, 76 L.Ed. 861.”
