Ruthless Deterrence

Pierre deliberately chose not to reveal Stanley's name, but not because the Wallaces wanted to protect him.

Rather, they actually had the chance to shoot Stanley dead right on the spot last night, but due to their hesitation, they had let Stanley take advantage of the opportunity to escape.

If Wallaces gave the Kingstons an honest confession of what had actually happened last night, the Kingstons would definitely put the blame on them and hold them responsible. So after a discussion among all the core members of the family, they reached a consensus to hide what had happened yesterday from the Kingstons and just say that the murderer had already escaped by the time they arrived.
