Background: -On November 19, 1960, Mailer threw a party to announce himself as running for mayor of New York City, so he invited everyone from poor to rich, and once he realized that none of the elite have shown up he began to get drunk. - Mailer was admired for his journalism, interviews, and essays for his "original thinking". - Mailer's unique talent was thought to have gone to his head which would actually lead to him striking. - Norman was 37 years old at the time and Adele was 35. - Norman and Adele had two daughters together, an 18-month-old and a three-year-old.

Incident: - Once Norman Mailer became drunk, his wife Adele Morales tried to comfort him but then led to an argument that continued to escalate which ended in Norman pulling out a penknife and stabbing Adele in the chest several times. - Adele arrived at University Hospital, 20th St. and 2nd ave with two wounds, one in the abdomen and the other in her back. - Norman was arrested on site of the hospital and taken to W. 100th St. Station and was then booked at 11:35 pm for a charge of felonious assault. - Inspector John Kinsella said the Mailers threw a big party at their 5-room flat at 250 W. 94th St. on Saturday night, and the stabbing occurred about 5 am after the party.
