George Telesmar Oubre

February 22, 1918 (age 80)

In 1970, Senator Oubre was named "Conservationist of the Year" in the elected official category by the Louisiana Wildlife Federation. In this same election, Edwin Edwards defeated J. Bennett Johnston, Junior., for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Guste then defeated Republican Tom Stagg of Shreveport in the general election held on February 1, 1972, for the right to succeed Jack P. F. Gremillion of Baton Rouge, who failed in his primary bid for a fifth term in the office. Another unsuccessful primary candidate was the Lafayette Democratic attorney J. Minos Simon. Roosevelt ran for the state Senate in Rapides Parish in 1971 while Oubre sought the office of attorney general. Oubre and Rosenthal obtained a $50,000 loan from the Louisiana National Bank in Baton Rouge, and neither made payments accordingly. When the bank sued, Rosenthal purchased the note for the sum of $54,000. He later field suit against Oubre for repayment. Oubre claimed that he did not owe Rosenthal because Rosenthal was indebted to Oubre for half of the original $50,000 as a result of other expenses encountered from their partnership. The court ruled on appeal in favor of Rosenthal. In 1986, 40th District Court Judge Gerard Walton "Ton" Caire of Edgard in Saint John the Baptist Parish ordered Oubre to represent John Francis Wille pro bono in a murder case because Oubre had been convicted for bank fraud. The Federal Bureau of Prisons does not show Oubre as having been a federal inmate after 1982. Rosenthal, however, was sentenced to twenty-two months in prison, assessed a $2,000 fine, and three years probation on another matter. He was released by the Federal Bureau of Prisons from a facility in Florida on September 4, 1987, after having served a year of the stated sentence.
