BRICK THROUGH WINDOW
GOLD BRACELET WATCH MISSING | Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, May 2. Half a brick, wrapped in brown paper, was used late last night to smash the main display window in the jeweller’s shop of Mr. Ernest McFeat, Karangahape Road, Newton. The window contained diamond and signet rings and other jewellery valued at £4OO, but Mr. McFeat stated to-day that so far he had only missed a woman’s gold bracelet watch, valued at £3 10s. The noise attracted the notice of a neighbour and a passing motorist. A middleaged man with his right wrist deeply cut was found near the shop and was taken to hospital, accompanied by a constable. The arteries and sinews of the hand were severed.
