Benjamin F. Haines recalls Walter G. Fall as quiet and studious while detailing a saga of guardianship payments and marriage hopes. The narrative covers an orphaned upbringing, a strained engagement to Esther Fogg Rees, and multiple agreements with guardian Reverend Rufus B Tobey. The shooting followed months of disputed settlements and withheld communications with the child born to the couple.
A man recalls an on the spot agreement by Mr. Pelletier that he viewed as a confession from Fall. He demurs but eventually agrees to carry the document to his office. Fall expresses love for a girl, while Tobey contradicts him saying she does not love him.
An eyewitness describes entering the district attorney's ante-room where a shooting occurred. Tobey was absent. Fall appeared calm while the narrator read the paper. A sergeant noted Tobey was out of town and Fall then fired, first aiming toward Pelletier and Rees before multiple shots rang out.
