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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The defendant company assigns for error that the trial court wrongfully excluded a stenographic report of the testimony of a witness by the name of Moses R. Dickey, which had been given on a former trial of the case, after the defendant company had shown that the said Dickey was a resident of the state of Ohio, and that the defendant had been unable to procure his attendance at the second trial. The rule appears to be established in Minnesota—where this case was tried—that such testimony is admissible. Minneapolis Mill Co. v. Minneapolis & St. L. Ry. Co., 51 Minn. 304 , 53 N. W. 639 ; King v. McCarthy, 54 Minn. 190 , 55 N. W. 960 . And the same rule, it seems, prevails in some other jurisdictions. Railway Co. v. Elkins, 39 Neb. 480 , 58 N. W. 164 , and cases jhere cited. We can see no substantial objection to the , admission of such testimony when, on the first trial, the witness was fully examined and cross-examined, provided, always, that the stenographic report of his testimony is proven to the satisfaction of the trial court to be correct/ by the person by whom it was reported, and provided further that the witness is beyond the reach of the process of the court, and his personal attendance cannot be secured.””
