Abstract
Certain C*-algebras on generators and relations are associated to directed graphs. For a finite graph $\Gamma$, C*-algebra $\mathcal{O}_{\Gamma}$ is canonically isomorphic to Cuntz-Krieger algebra corresponding to the adjacency matrix of $\Gamma$. It is shown that if a countably infinite
graph $\Gamma$ is strongly connected, $\mathcal{O}_{\Gamma}$ is simple and purely infinite.
