		Huddie was born into a relatively prosperous negro family, who farmed land, first as sharecroppers in Lousiana, then as landowners in Texas, near the Louisiana border.
		Huddie's quick temper, womanizing and rough ways led to several scrapes with the law, and by 1930 he had been arrested and convicted of assault with intent to murder.
		Leadbelly was soon released, and the legend (assiduously cultivated by Huddie) has always had it that Allen pardoned him because he was so moved by the pardon song, a repeat of the Pat Neff legend.
