Graham Island Civil Case Finds Emond Not Guilty
Judge McInnes ruled the Emond case a civil matter not a criminal one after finding insufficient evidence of fraud. The plaintiff paid 685 dollars for land on Graham Island intended for Rev. Coccola of Powell River, but no land materialized and Emond offered land at a higher price. Crown counsel W McKay and defense counsel W Pollard Grant appeared.
