HAYSTACKS BURNED
YOUNG REFUGEE’S FARM INCENDIARISM SUSPECTED (By Telegraph.—Special to Times) AUCKLAND, Saturday Three haystacks, valued at about £SO, o'n the farm of a young German Jewish refugee, Mr Ernest Lion, at Hunua, were destroyed by fire in the early hourse of this morning. Incendiarism is suspected, and detectives are making investigations. The stacks were widely separated. The first was 50yds from the house and the next about a similar distance further afield. The third stood about 500yds across a gully, and to reach it a swampy area and creek could be crossed at only one point, which might not have been located by one who was unfamiliar with the territory. Mr Lion settled at Hunua about two years, ago, and was joined by his elderly parents about six months ago, after they had also been expelled from Germany.
