Bedford, May 31. Special. Dr. Bisot returned here from the JefTersonville prison last night. He ha changed but littlo during his Ions absence. When called upon by Tub Sentinel reporter he willingly submitted to an interview. The etatement having been printed that he had visited Bedford several times since locating in Mexico, he was asked if this was true. His answer was that the statement was not true; that until after his pardon he had not been near his old bome and had not seen his mother eince he fled from the etate. Continuing, he eaid: I was within the boundaries of Indiana t but once during the twelve years, and that was when I went through on my return from a trip to the East, where I had been on business. On this occasion my mother wa informed that I intended to ttopin Chicago in the hope that she would visit me, but she wm eo afraid of endangering my liberty that ehe refused to meet me there." Referring to his recent voluntary surrender to the prison authorities, The Skntin Et. reporter asked whether his action was induced by the promise of a pardon. If not. what gave him the courage to face the risk of spending the rexainder of life in priaon. "I had great faith in the fact that a pardon would he granted. This confidence w as based on the reports which my friends made from time to time, as my case was presented to each successive governor of the state. Alt oi them seemed to speak of my claims in the most favorable way, yet none of them would treat with me when I stood in the relation of a fugitive, much less make nnv promises of what would be lone in the event of mv return. I felt I must come back some time, not eo much do account of the benefit a pardou would be to me as because it was the dearest hope and most absorbing desire of my mother to see me again and know that I (ras free from tho bondage of the law. On he other hand, the position I had attained in the world and the success I had derived in business would be endangered if 1 made the attempt to obtain the right to liberty and failed. It is not difficult to .magine my conflicting thoughts and feelings under the circumstance. I am glad, now, I finally mnstered courage enough to come ; g'ad bovond expression that the ordeal is ended." "It is hardly necessary to ask whether your mother is happy since your return." "It is at leant hardly worth while to attempt to give in words adescription of my mother's feeling. Her happiuess has almost made her young again. "During your absence were you in constant fear of recognition and recapture?" "Of recognition, yes ; of recapture, no. Recognition and betrayal of my secret to my new friends ami associates before I had secured a pardon might have brought the greatest disaster upon me, but I feel sure it would not have resulted in my being returned to prison. I think the authorities of Indiana, while they could not countenance or approveof my method of securing freedom, would not have taken a step to capture me, even if they had learned my place of residence." "Will you now make your home at Bedford?" 'I cannot say. I have not yet had time to mature my plans for the future. At present I feel content to know that I am once more free to plan and act. It gives me p'easure to visit Bedford, because it ia the home of my childhood, but it is also the place where the great misfortune of mv life befell me. The lapse of twelve years would naturally produce You know what you Absolutely tho

great changes; but in addition to the ordinary effects of time is the fact that Bedford" has made wonderful growth in area and population during the past years, being in that respect more like a town in the far west than one located in an old state. I cannot eay that I will remain here. Old ties are' strongest, but it is likely that I shall tpend my life where I can see the fruits ot my best efforts and have credit for a character and standing of which I have the right to feel proud."

That the Anderson jail was not dynamited last night and all the prisoners released or killed ia a matter of luck. The work had been thoroughly planned, and all that remained was to put the plans into execution. The vigilance of Prosecutor Carver alone prevented the desperate 6cheme being put into execution. There are now five men in jail who have been sentenced to the etate prison, each for terms of from two to six years. They are William Fleming, Frank Hall, Harry Davis and Walter Tibbetts, burglars, and William B. Dells, a 6windler. Prosecutor Carver has been afraid these men would break jail, so he has kept a close watch on the prisoners, and whenever a man was released from custody he was questioned closely aa to what was going on iuside the jail. His vigilance was rewarded Saturday afternoon. He was at El wood and along in the afternoon be happened to meet a man who had recently been discharged from jail. Mr. Carver jocularly remarked that he supposed the boys had about completed their ecbeme to get out of jail. The ex prisoner looked tar tied when this re mark waa made.

Then he laid the whole plot before the prosecutor and told how far the work had progressed and that it was the intention to finish it that night with dyn amite to be furnished by confederates outside. Mr. Carver had heard enough. He had but three minutes to make the train for Andereon, but he did it. As Boon as he got here the prosecutor hunted up 6beri:f Elchieon and told him of the in tended jail delivery. The two men went to the ja 1 and found everything just as the ex-prieoner had stated, ihe men had been operating on the walls of the north side of the building. Two heavy iron hangers used to held" the steam pipes had been wrenched loose and with tbeso the prisoners had pried out the window frame and loosened a big let of brick. The brick had been carefully replaced in the wall, eo aa to be taken out at a moment's notice. Last night was the tirao set for making tha delivery.
