Idaho World Newspaper   June 30 1870
 William Abbott was a native of Indiana, and we believe about 35 years of age, 
and it will be a sad blow to his aged mother to hear not only of his death, but 
of the circumstances under which it was brought about. His remains were brought 
to Idaho city on last Monday night, and on Tuesday evening , at about 5 o'clock 
the funeral services were conducted at the Catholic Church by the Priests, one 
of whom, Father Archambault, accompanied the body to the cemetery on the west 
side of Elk creek, where the last rites were performed, and in the presence of 
the relatives and friends of the deceased the grave closed over the remains of 
one of the unfortunates in this fearful tragedy.
 Coroners inquest:
  We, The undersigned Jurors convened to inquire into the cause of the death of 
deceased, do find his name to be William Abbott, that he is about forty years 
of age, a native of Missouri, and that he came to his death by a pistol-shot 
wound, the ball entering his bowels and ranging down, lodging in his right hip, 
the said wound being caused by a pistol-shot fired from the hands of Asa Abbott.

Additional Comments:
 Asa accidently shot William as it was meant for David H. Hannor.
