A. G. Kiddie, the senior counsel for Woods, submitted the following statement: MA. RIDDLS'S STATEMENT. To the President of the United States—Sir: 1 Was the leading counsel in the case of Barney Woods at his recent trial, and in support of the petition of lis wife, beg leave to subm't the following: The case was tried under great disadvantage to the defendant. A great number of homicides had been committed recently, and his was one of seven or eight cases coming on for trial, and in addition to the necessary and excusable alarm in the public mind, there was a strong prejudice bearing against him individually. Tue case was set for trialata day too short for reasonable prep- aration, and after every effort to secure three Additional days Iwas forced to commence the tnal. The government claimed that it would Prove that Woods had malice towards the de- ceased for an impending dismissal from his | raged and that im the afternoon of the fatal day e made threats against the deceased—neither of which was sustained by the proof. Woods was excited during the afternoon, but clearly not towards Cheeseman; and it appeared by @ leading witness for the government, who talked the matter over wit® Woods, that he became pacified before he leit. ‘The goverment claimed in effect that Wood armed Limseli and laid in wait for Cheeseman. Let bore gem the Case contradicts this. He was a night watch in a dangerous locality, and was, as usuel, armed wih the gvn for the parpose, as appeared trom the government’s witnesses. He retained all the time in his own house, and tired from his own window, and could not have anticipated that Cheeseman would have come near him that night. The government relied on the carelessness of the shooting, also in proof of mulice. The very carelessness should have led acautious mind to doubt the existence of malice. Without any doubt whatever m my miud the detendant on the evening of the homicide was a condition that precluded bis forming and executing a deliberate purpose. The evi to his later years was that he occasion: nee The execution is to take November 2th the eifurts to obtain mutation of sentence fail —e Washington's Sick Horses. EFFECTS OF TH® EPIMIPFIC ON BUSINESS. The street cars on the Avenue, 7th, and F street lines Are running to-day, although the full complement of cars are not yet in serv: owiag to the large number of horses still sic! Almost the usual number of horses are seen on the etreets to-day, attached to vehicles of all kinds, but scarcely one of them is free from the epidemic in a slight form. The experiment of using tick animals is now being pretty generally tested, but with what result cannot at present be stated. Those having the disease in a mild form may notbe injured by use, uuless they catch cold, but to those having the serious type of the malady work is almost invariably ratal. EFFECT ON THE CANAL TRADE. The disease is interfering materially with the busine:s ot the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, and a large number of horses and mules are laid ap. A number of boats have stopped running, aud the customary revenue of the canal will be con- siderably reduced in consequence. DEATHS TO-DAY. The number of dead horses reported at police headquarters up ta 12 “olock to-day was 13. Ove Praiic ScHoots.—The board of trus- tees of public schools met last evening at the Franklin building.

I only ask that the case, with otlier matters, shall be reviewed for the purpose of determining whether, under all the circumstances, the sentence of death shall be executed; and I sub- mit that it would be a reproach and a scandal — the administration of justice to hang this an.
