Py Part = g ws =f LE A "Chief oquittd By 12- Member nl Robert John Cameron, Chief of Police of the Village of p Port Perry, was acquitted by a 12-member jury Wednesday last week, of theft. "I hope that the people of Port Perry will accept the verdict of the jury who has heard all the evidence," said ¢ R. D. Humphreys, QC, Chief --Cameron's..counsel............ "It sometimes happens," said Mr. Humphreys, "that although a man has been found not guilty of a crime by a jury, the people living ¢ in the area with the freed man will 'convict' him them. selves. I hope that this will not happen in this case, and that Chief Cameron will be - restored to his rightful place in the community." e Mr. Cameron was suspend- ed from his position as Chief of Police of Port Perry on March 29, 1967. The chief was accused of converting to his own use money paid to him as a fine in lieu of a jail term by Ar- thur Afinis, convicted June 8, 1966 of supplying liquor to minors. Mr. Cameron admitted re ceiving the money and giv- ing a receipt for it, but stat- 2 ched its destination, the Ma: gistrate's court clerk's office. - During the trial, Chief Cameron testified that, al though he may have been e careless with the money, he 'not steal it. "Although Chief Cameron was judged not guilty of the offense," said his lawyer, "he is going to pay the money to the proper authorities any- | way, as he believes that if he lost the money, it was care- lessness on his part and thé honest thing to do would be to.pay for it out of his own pocket." Mr, Humphreys contended during the trial, that the charge of theft should never have been laid in the first place and that if necessary, action could have been taken ina 'civil court- to- recover the money lost by the Chief, or stolen from the municipal building. At a council meeting held last week, Mr. Cameron at- tended and requested pay- ment for the time until the case against him was heard, plus three statutory holidays. This was approved by the council. Al the time Mr. Cameron stated, "I am leaving on my own accord, for I fear there may be animosity in the Pol- ice Department, but I hold no grudge against the Port Perry Council."
