ATTORNEY FOR DEFENDANT OUTLINES HIS CONTENTIONS Will Attempt to Show That Vacos Was Hounded to Desperation. Special to The Tribune. OGDEN, 27.

The translation of Christ's Sermon on the Mount from a Greek Blblo Into English, read by John PItcheos on tho witness stand In the district court, nnd the opening remarks of Attorney Sam King of Salt Lake, who Is defending Nick Vacos, charged with murder In the first degree, In which- the of self-dofense was outlined as a Justification for the shooting of John Con-tOK, a Greek candy merchant of this city, last April, wore tho features of today's session. With the examination of thirty-five witnesses to prove that when Nick Vacos fired the shot which ended his countryman' life he did so with mallco aforethought, cither expressed or Implied, and Is guilty of murder the first degree, tho state rested Its case this morning. Attorney King then arose and outlined the case of the defense. Evidonco for Defense. The first witness called In the defendant's behalf was J.

R. Lemme, a local tailor. He testified that Vacos came to his place on the day or the shooting to buv a vest; that he was In a highly nervous condition, and not being ablo to find what he wanted, threw the garment shown him Into the street and walked out of the store. Alonzo Rogers, the constable who served the writ of attachment on Vacos at his fruit stand, which was Issued on complaint of Contos to satisfy a debt the defendant owed him, also swore that Vacos appeared to be laboring under a severe nervous strain. Bible Is Translated.

At the afternoon session, John PItcheos. the Greek Interpreter, who attended the preliminary hearing, was called to the witness stand. Tho state attempted to show that the witness la not familiar enough with the English language to act as an Interpreter, and handed him a Greek Bible with Instructions to translate the Sermon on the Mount. The witness labored through the translation with considerable difficulty, and appeared at times to be uncertain as to nls translation. lie testified that he Is a graduate of the University of Athens, and thnt this difficulty In translation was due to the fact that the Bible contained the ancient Greek, while his studies had been confined almost exclusively to the modern Greek language.

Attorney Outlines Dofenso. From the opening remarks of Attorney Sam King. It is evident that the defense will seek to prove that Vacos was hounded bv Contos, and that after the defendant 'had begged repeatedly for a Utile more time to pay the debt which he owed, he came to Contos's store late In the evening again to talk over matters, when Contos reached towards his hip pocket as If to draw a weapon. Then the defendant shot him. To show that Contos was attempting to crowd tho defendant out of business and got possession of his fruit stand himself, the defense called Angel Corolos, who swore that John Cosmos, a partner of Contos, had told the witness that Contos said ho was not after the debt Vacos owed him.

but was after the fruit stand. When adjournment was taken late this afternoon the defense announced that the case would In all probability be concluded' bv Saturday.

TATT'S rtTOORPOEATION MEASURE IB DRATTED WASHINGTON.

Jan. 27. After being subjected to the close scrutiny of prominent lawyers and undergoing repeated revision, tho bill embodying the ideas of President Taft for a federal Incorporation act is ready to bo Introduced In congress. Its preparation represents months of labor by Attorney General Wlckersham and Secretary Nagel. who have sought to draft a measure that will stand the test of the courts and safeguard public Interests.

Presumably, In Its main features, the bill Is In accord with the president's special message and with tho preliminary draft published several weeks ago. Corporations given a charter under the bill will be held to a strict accountability for the observance of Its provisions for no less than three distinct methods aro available to dispossess them of the privilege of doing business. These are tho right of congress to alter, amend or repeal a charter; the right of the commissioner of corporations, who Issues the charter, to sue for a receivership In case of a violation of any. of its features or for alleged insolvency, and the fight of tho attorney general to begin proceedings for annulment for violations of the Sherman anti-trust act. Proceedings instituted by the commissioner of corporations or by the department of justice may be resisted by Injunction or by other legal moans.

Advocates of the hill believe It is gaining some favor In congress. They believe the measure will prove popular and, while It necessarily will compel a readjustment of business methods by the corporato Interests, this will not bo harmful to the "good trusts," Monopolistic combinations. It Is declared, will be prevented, but ample provision Is made for the organization of business within legal linos. SEVERE CRITICISM OF POSTOFFIOE DEPARTMENT WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.

Representative Fassctt of New York resented the lattor statement, declaring tho postofflce department hnd attracted such men an John Wanamaker and G.

B. Cortclyou, Mr. Wilder said there was no justification for separating newspapers and magazines and charging the latter more than tho former. BILL INTENDED TO OINOH GOLD STANDARD WASHINGTON. Jnn 27.

THSBEMEDY I Thoro is but ono way to cure an, old soro or enronio ulcer, and that la to remove ho causo that produces and keeps it open. No matter where located, any soro that remains until 'it becomes chronio does so because of IH impure blood; tho circulation constantly discharges its pollutod matter into the place and it is impossiblo for naturo to Ileal the soro. S. S. B.

heals sorea and ul6ers by purifying the blood. It removes ovory trace of taint or Impurity from the circulation, and thus completely does away with the cause. No local application reaches below the infected flesh at the spot, and for this reason can have no curative effect on a sore or ulcer; whilo IH such treatment is being used alone, tho germs and impurities are constantly IH increasing in the blood and the sore is bound to grow worse. When S.3.8. hits cleansed tho blood and enriched and purified the circulation tho place begins to take on a moro healthy appearance, the different symptoms show improvement, tho flesh around tho ulcer gets firm, new skin and tissues are formed, and aided by pure, rich blood, nature provides a perfect and lasting cure.

Under the tonic and blood-purifying effects of S.S.S., the system is built up, and those whose health has boen impaired by tho drain and worry of an old sore will be greatly benefited by its use.

27. There was lively interest today In Wall street over plans to combine the Guggenheim and the Amalgamated Copper Interests Into one gigantic corporation, second only to the United States Steel corporation. it was denied thnt J. P. Morgan Co.

Wall street has it that the general outline of this plan has been passed upon Informally by the attorney general.

In any event, It will take several weeks to work out details, and there Is still a possibility of litigation over terms proposed to the Nevada Consolidated properties.
