I think the 'hints' after the combat show he is innocent. If you notice... his name becomes 'merchant' afterwards. And he walks over to a merchant cart and pulls out a notebook and starts taking notes right afterwards. So to me, it makes sense that they came to rob this merchant who does have some good coin on him, judging by him giving you 50 crowns afterwards, and these guys seemed pretty poor by the loot on their corpses (junk swords and 1-2 crowns each).

Also, the dialogue by the elves seems a bit too much like theatre... especially after you question it and they try to silence him. But if you take out all of their dialogue and just try to look at the facts, I think it leans towards his innocence.
