Caulfield was always a trouble maker in school
and he was just to leave an other one, pency prep,
as he got into a fight with his older and superior
roommate Stradlater. They were fighting over a
girl, Jane Gallagher. Holden had known Jane for quite a while and was now dating her, but her ex boyfriend who also was Holden’s roommate wasn’t very happy with that idea.
Jane told the police in her interrogation that she had never seen her ex boyfriend so angry like when she told him that she now was going out with Holden.. After their conversation he was already very upset but when Holden came home, just some hours after his girlfriend had left the place, Stradlater was about to over boil. He was already waiting for Holden. Ackley, a senior which lives in the room next door, says to the police that he heard a lot of screaming from the other room but he didn’t think that there was something special going on because Holden and his roommate were always fighting and screaming. They where especially fighting about girls. As the argue reach its peek Holden’s roommate took , after his own allocution, a red hunting hat and pressed it on Holden’s mouth and nose.” He was gasping for air but I was just so mad I couldn’t take that hat away”, Stradlater says to the police. “He was calling me for phonie and the whole thing with Jane just made me so angry”. After a few minutes Holden stopped struggling and slided to the floor. The roommate who now was well-aware of the situation cried out for help and Mr. Spencer, a teacher came. After his statement there was nothing anyone could have done for Holden. He didn’t have a pulse and the try to revive him failed miserable. Stradlater confesses the murder to the polis right away. He will speak in front of the court in three weeks and a decreased penalty is to expect because of the accusals age. An official interment of Holden Caulfield will take place the 14. of April.
