I came across these old headlines while digging through old newspapers on microfiche. Interesting stuff.

In July 1946, Smith accepted the position as head of academic studies at Burritt Preparatory School for Boys in Spencer in Van Buren County, in east central Tennessee. In September 1948, Smith relocated to New Orleans and entered the real estate business. He was soon named director of vocational rehabilitation at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, where, oddly, he was to have been an inmate prior to his commutation of sentence by Governor Davis.[1] He worked in that capacity with Rollo C. Lawrence, the first Angola superintendent, a position created by combining the functions of general manager and warden. Lawrence had been the mayor of Pineville from 1930 to 1946.

That's pretty interesting. I've always wanted to frame a bunch of old newspaper front pages of different interesting things and hang them up.

The scandal he was involved in has one of the best names I've ever heard: The Louisiana Hayride of 1939.

I'll give you 3 guesses who it was that put the crooked bastard in charge of LSU in the first place.

Huey told them they better hoped he lived a long time because they would all geaux to jail if he was not around.
