The entire gun battle had lasted less than fifteen minutes after the robbers had entered the banks. Eight men were dead and three were wounded. In addition to the four outlaws who were killed, the local men that were killed were Marshal Charles Connelly, Lucius Baldwin, George Cubine, and Charles Brown.

Emmett stood trial and was sentenced to life in prison. However, due in part to his friends on the right side of the law who thought he was not beyond redemption, Emmett was pardoned in 1907. On September 1, 1908 Emmett married Julia Johnson Gilstrap Lewis in Bartlesville, Oklahoma where they lived for a couple of years before moving to California. In California, Emmett worked as a building contractor and later would write a book about the exploits of the Dalton Gang entitled "When The Daltons Rode." Written in collaboration with Jack Jungmeyer, a Los Angeles Newspaperman, the book was published in 1931.

In May of 1931, Emmett and Julia returned to Coffeyville for a visit, where they were treated as celebrities. Emmett died at home in Long Beach, California on July 13, 1937.

In 1940, shortly after Emmett's death, the book was made into a western movie starring Randolph Scott, Broderick Crawford, Andy Devine and Kay Francis. Julia Dalton was associated with the filming as a sort of technical advisor. Later, she went to Coffeyville, Kansas, for the picture’s premier. 

Coffeyville was not the end of the Dalton Gang. Three members of the old gang remained at large; Bill Doolin, Bitter Creek Newcomb, and Charlie Pierce. In fact, Bill Doolin is thought by many historians to be a sixth member of the gang which hit Coffeyville, holding the horses in the alley, and the only member to have escaped. Bill Dalton also joined the former members of the gang, and they would terrorize the Territories for several years as the infamous Dalton-Doolin Gang.

As to the ultimate fate of the other gang members:  

George "Bitter Creek" Newcomb met a fifteen year old girl named Rosa Dunn, known as "The Rose of Cimarron.” Eventually he sought refuge at her parents ranch, and her brothers turned him in for the $5,000 reward on his head. He was shot by U.S. Deputy Marshals on May 2, 1894 in Oklahoma.

Charlie" Pierce was with George "Bitter Creek" Newcomb and was also killed by U.S. Deputy Marshals on May 2, 1894 in Oklahoma.

Bill Doolin was killed on August, 1896 by U.S. Deputy Marshal Heck Thomas near Lawson, Oklahoma.

Bill Dalton went on the run after robbing the first National Bank in Longview, Texas and was killed by lawman, Loss Hart, at Elk, Oklahoma on June 7, 1894.

"Blackface Charlie" Bryant was arrested by U.S. Deputy Marshal Edward Short in the summer of 1891 and while he was being transported to the federal court in Wichita, Kansas, on August 3, 1891, Bryant stole a gun and shot Marshal Short. The lawman returned fire and when the smoke cleared both men were dead.
