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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In short, evidence of declarations admitted as dying declarations stands, as we think, upon precisely the same legal footing, as far as. review on error is concerned, as testimony of confessions made by the defendant while in custody. In the case of such a confession, where its admissibility is challenged, the primary question for the determination of the trial court is the question of fact, whether the defendant in confessing acted voluntarily, or, on the contrary, was under the influence of fear or hope. If there be any legal evidence to support the finding of the trial judge to the effect that the confession was voluntarily made, his finding is not subject to legal exception and not reviewable upon writ of error that rests alone upon such an exception.””
