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.
““By motion in arrest of judgment the sufficiency of the indictment is challenged. The ruling denying this motion is assigned as error and upon this assignment the contention is made that the indictment charges no offense against the laws of this State. It may be admitted that the indictment is somewhat inartificially drawn, but it charges the offense alleged substantially in the language of the statute prohibiting it and prescribing the punishment. It is not so vague and indefinite as to mislead the defendants or embarrass them in the preparation of their defense, or to expose them after conviction to a new prosecution for the same offense. This, under the statutes, is, upon a motion in arrest of judgment, sufficient.””
