New Orleans Herald-Leader and Picayune

The New Orleans Herald-Leader and Picayune was a newspaper in New Orleans. Several days after the theft of The Two Georges, the Herald received a copy of the ransom demand sent by the Sons of Liberty to Colonel Thomas Bushell. Chauncey Dupuy, a reporter for the paper, telephoned Colonel Bushell for an interview. He wasn't the first reporter to do so since the Sons had sent copies to papers throughout the North American Union.
