James S. Leslie, known as Jim Leslie (October 27, 1937 – July 9, 1976), was a journalist for ''The Shreveport Times'' who became a public relations and advertising executive in Shreveport in northwestern Louisiana. His shotgun assassination in the capital city of Baton Rouge led quickly to the collapse of the controversial administration of Shreveport Public Safety Commissioner George W. D'Artois. ==D'Artois's advertising man==
In 1974, D'Artois hired Leslie to conduct public relations for D'Artois's successful campaign for reelection as the citywide commissioner of public safety, a post to which the Democrat had first been elected in 1962 and encompassed authority over both the police and fire departments. D'Artois twice paid Leslie for his services, the second time under threat, through a Shreveport municipal account; Leslie spurned the checks and asked for proper payment from the campaign fund instead. Leslie also testified before a grand jury investigating corruption in the Shreveport Department of Public Safety.〔 D'Artois was not Leslie's first client. He had worked successfully in 1972 to elect Democrat J. Bennett Johnston, Jr., of Shreveport to the United States Senate as the long-range successor to the late Allen J. Ellender and in 1975 to make J. Kelly Nix the new Louisiana state superintendent of education through the defeat of incumbent Louis J. Michot.
