In the novel, Dally died during a police shoot-out while trying to save children from a burning church. Ponyboy considers Dally's actions as brave and considers his death to be a noble one.
The policemen kill Dally. After Johnny dies in the hospital, Dally is so upset, he runs away from Ponyboy and robs a grocery store. The police chase him to the empty lot where the greasers hang out. There, Dally takes out his unloaded gun and threatens the police, who shoot him in self-defense.
Although Dally has a cold exterior, he has a soft spot for Johnny. Ponyboy explains that Dally does not love anyone except for Johnny. As soon as Johnny comes to him for help, he immediately concocts a plan to help protect him.

The verdict is in. Johnny Cade is guilty of manslaughter in the death of Bob Sheldon. The accused and main character in the S. E. Hinton novel The Outsiders was sent up the river for four years to Collins Bay Penitentiary Thursday during a mock trial at Gananoque Secondary School (GSS).

Though the book may feel like historical fiction for today's readers, it was a work of contemporary fiction when Hinton wrote it.
