Robert "Kid" Barker/Layton was charged with murder-but he never went to trial. Barker escaped from the Benton County jail in Prosser several months later. He was never heard of again.

Although Sheriff Alex McNeill had been wounded, he recovered. The story, concerning him being wounded, was circulated that the sheriff was injured due to the "prominent bay window" of a stomach he sported. It seems that, according to the tale, the sheriff attempted, during the shootout, to hide behind a slim cottonwood tree. The tree in question was, however, too slim, leaving the sheriff's stomach a perfect target.
