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