DEVIL’S ISLAND.
PARIS, June 29. __ Devil’s Island and all other penal establishments in French Guiana have been abolished by a decree enforcing the provisions of a Bill introduced into Parliament in 1936, and which, has actually been observed ever since. Convicts after they have been sentenced to deportation have remained in prisons in France. Those now in Guiana will not be repatriated, but will be allowed to die out.
