JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., May 28.—Warden Patton received an unconditional pardon from Governor Chase for Arthur Bisot yesterday morning, and soon after Bisot laid aside his prison garb and reclothed himself as a citizen. He declined to talk of his sixteen years absence as a fugitive, saying that he did not wish the world to know where he had been, nor whence he came. He had $30 and a gold watch when he surrendered, and on his release he was given $15 additional, allowed by the state. He left for Louisville, saying he would go at once to Bedford. His citizen's clothing indicated that his dress suit was made by the London Trunk and Bag company, of Salt Lake City, his fine spring overcoat by a Boston firm.
