AUTO BANDITS OFF FOR GUIANA.
Men who Terrorised Paris Leave
for Penal Settlement.

PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE survivors Of the Tn
famous automobile bandit gang, led by
Bonnet and GARNER, heroes OF the Paris
underworld, have Just been transferred
from the prison at Saint Martin de Re to
the penal settlement In French Guiana,
whence most Of them will never return.
The transport Loire. which took them
to South America, makes the journey reg
ularly between France and French Guiana
with Its sad cargo Of human derelicts.
The voyage Is a very d.sagreeable one for
the prisoners. as they are not allowed. az
ordinary travellers. to enjoy the sea and
air from the steamers deck. but must
stay below, each one In a separate cage
to which little fresh air ever filters.
At the prison OF Saint Martin on the
little island of Re the prisoners are di-
vided according. to the various trades to
which they can adapt themselves. But "a
week before their departure for over
yonder" they are ordered to cease work
entirely. The Government In its war on
crime gives these criminals a short truce
before the horrors of the penal settlement.
During these eight days the prisoners do
nothing but enjoy themselves as much as
prisoners on n prison island can. They
are allowed to see their relatives or sweet
hearts for the last time. They have an
opportunity to look backward over the
past or forward Into the future. whichever
they prefer. 1t is only natural. yet worth
noticing. that most OF the visitors during
this short week are wives, mothers and
