A MOTUIHI FRACAS.
A GERMAN GETS A BROKEN JAW. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. A German interned at Motuihi has been in the Auckland hospital since February 11, suffering from a fractured jaw, allegedly inflicted by a compatriot who is also interned. It will be remembered that at the official inquiry into the escape of the Germans, evidence was given regarding a note of warning left for the authorities. As far as is ascertainable, this mysterious epistle created ill-feeling among some of the prisoners who were concerned about its authorship. It is understood one German, formerly a resident of Samoa, formed a suspicion against an cxAucklander, who is sharing the captivity. He attacked the latter and broke the latter's jaw. A warrant was issued for the arrest of the assailant, who will be charged with assault and causing bodily harm.
