After evading arrest for fifteen months, Elizabeth Mason was arrested by Patrolman Charles Barts of the 135th street station. She was wanted for stabbing Curtis Donnel in the chest on the 14th of October in 1933, shortly after which Donnel died in the street. Elizabeth Mason was booked at the East 126th street police station on the charge of homicide, and though she admitted to having stabbed Donnel, she claimed she was forced to do so in order to protect herself from his unwanted advances.
