Returning to Texas, Hardin married, went into the cattle business, killed at least four and perhaps eight Negro policemen, was almost killed when a local badman emptied a shotgun into him point blank. Chased by one mob after another while terribly wounded, he developed his lifelong fear of lynching, surrendered to the authorities, who let him escape. Cutting his way out of jail in broad daylight, he wrote that the guards told him when to work, "as the saw made a big fuss."

...wreckage. It is a temporary halt. Speaking of NRA alone-after a rough voyage on an unknown, unchartered and foggy sea, during which it tacked and veered and took many wrong courses (for much of which I was to blame)-the fog suddenly lifted and disclosed a blank wall of a seemingly impassable cliff-the decision in the Schechter case. The problem now is not to pick up its wreckage but to steer a course around that barrier...
