SEC Was Investigating His hasty departure with his second wife, Naomi, came as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was looking into dealings of the Cornucopia Gold Mine Co., a firm Belle and several associates purchased in 1957 and used as a springboard to acquire other holdings. Cornucopia, a Seattle, Wash., firm, had been idle since 1941 but remained on the board of the American Stock Exchange. The government charged that Belle used Cornucopia's presti gious position to fraudulently gain control of other firms and bilk several banks of approxi' n.atcly $1 million. Claimed Innocence The SEC began its investiga tion of the resurrected Cornu- copia about six months before Belle s Independence Day flight. While in Rio, Belle steadfast ly insisted he was innocent and had no money. He lived in a $2,000 a month apartment. Brazil has no reciprocal ex tradition treaty with the U.S. covering stock frauds so Belle was in no danger of being expelled. But, Brazilian authorities said, he passed $70,000 in worthless checks. He reportedly was given an option of remaining there and facing the rubber check charges or returning home to stand trial on the fraud indict' ments. He flew to New York last Saturday, Says He Isn't Involved When he arrived here, how ever, Belle said he was not in volved in any check-passing scheme. "In Brazil, they won't let you leave even if you're a suspect," Belle said. He declared the only reason he returned was to do anything I can to clear my name. - i Belle was asked why he fled Pittsburgh. "I don't know," he replied. "I must have been crazy. He said his life in Rio was difficult. "I was unable to go into busi ness for myself because I lacked capital,", lie said. He said the cloud of doubt over his honesty also prevented him from gain ing employment with a private firm.
