The Cuntz-Krieger algebra ${{\mathcal{O}}_{B}}$ is defined for an arbitrary, possibly infinite and infinite valued, matrix $B$. A graph ${{C}^{*}}$-algebra ${{G}^{*}}\left( E \right)$ is introduced for an arbitrary directed graph $E$, and is shown to coincide with a previously defined graph algebra ${{C}^{*}}\left( E \right)$ if each source of $E$ emits only finitely many edges. Each graph algebra ${{G}^{*}}\left( E \right)$ is isomorphic to the Cuntz-Krieger algebra ${{\mathcal{O}}_{B}}$ where $B$ is the vertex matrix of $E$.
