===The bitter clash with Huey Long===

Pavy is widely believed to be one of the reasons why Huey Long was shot, because shortly before Long died, he had obtained legislative passage of a law changing the configuration of Pavy's judicial district so that it included more Long supporters, a way to defeat Pavy when he ran for reelection in 1936, by which time Long had already been assassinated. One of his sons-in-law, Carl Austin Weiss. Sr., M.D., (1906-1935), was Long's alleged assassin though the Pavy and Weiss families have long disputed that assertion.<ref name=dlb>{{cite web|url=https://www.lahistory.org/resources/dictionary-louisiana-biography/dictionary-louisiana-biography-p/|title=Pavy, Benjamin Henry|publisher=''A Dictionary of Louisiana Biography'' (publication of the Louisiana Historical Association), Vol. 2|date=1988|page=635.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/famous/huey_long/16.html|title=Kingfish's Death: Another Version|publisher=Crimelibrary.com|accessdate=April 13, 2019}}</ref>

Elton J. Doucet (1901–1992), younger brother of legendary St. Landry Parish Sheriff Daly Joseph "Cat" Doucet, Sr. (1899-1975) recalled Judge Pavy shortly before Doucet's own death in a 1991 interview: "All the farmers and all the poor people was {sic} for Huey P.
