young man Of twenty-four, who before
the war had organized in Chicago fine
body of zouaves and exhibited the zou-
ave drill in several cities Of the north.
President Lincoln, who had been es-
corted to Washington by Ellsworth, ap-
pointed him to second lieutenancy in
the regular army. On the morning Of
May "a. when the Union forces crossed
into Virginia, Ellsworth's zouaves occu-

TAKEN FROM CHICAGO
Former Canadian Banker Is
Started Back to
Toronto.

CHICAGO, May 11.-Dr. William Beattie
Nesbitt. former president of the Farm
ers' Bank Of Toronto, Canada, was taken
back to Toronto today. He was accused
of making false statements regarding the
financial condition of the bank to the
Canadian minister of finance.
His extradition was ordered by United
States Commissioner Foote. and the find
ing today was upheld by the State De-
partment.
Immediate plans were made to return
DR. Nesbitt to Canada on the receipt Of a
warrant from Secretary of State Knox
authorizing his removal DR.. Nesbitt
was given into the custody of A. G. Boyd
of the Canadian provincial police, and
started on his return journey.
Counsel Planned Fight.
Counsel for Dr. Nesbitt some days ago
announced that he intended to seek the
release of his client by habeas corpus
proceedings in the federal court, and It
was expected the writ would be filed Mon
day.
The preparations for the extradition
were kept secret and the banker physi-
clan was hurried out Of the city before his
friends knew of the ruling from WASH
ingtOn.
DIR. Nesbitt was first arrested on a
charge of forgery. but this complaint was
dropped when the allegation of false
statements was presented. 1t was charged
that DR.. Nesbitt had concealed his iden-
tity in Chicago for months after leaving
the Canadian city. This he denied before
the commissioner.
