Devil's Island, a tiny, palm- covered rock, was regarded al- most as a rest home by the mur- derers and thieves who slaved and died in the malarial swamps of the mainland part of the penal settlement. The island was first reserved for political prisoners and thus gained world-wide notoriety as the prison of Alfred Dreyfus, who was held there from 1894-99. Dreyfus, a French Army cap- tain falsely accused of espionage for the Germans, was declared innocent after one of France's most celebrated legal cases.
