SAID DENVER, Colo., Dec. 15—Walter L. Loupe, perpetrator of a sulcide hoax and alleged embezzler of $3,500 from the Farmers Life Insurance company of Denver, may be freed without trial following capture after @ six weeks’ nation-wide search, Loupe, in a signed statement here, admitted the charge of embezzlement but sald the loss to the insurance company would be only $600. Au- thoriti intimated that if the short- age totals no more than Loupe claims, charges may be dismissed. Under the name of Ray Binger, Loupe was taken into custody on a ranch at Ypsilanti, Mich., more than a week ago. He contended that he had been a, victim of amnesia follow- ing the crash of his automobile init the Colorado river on October 22 When he faced officials of the Farm em Life Insurance company here, however, he admitted his attempt to show suicide so that his wife might collect $46,000 insurance he carried, and that he was short in his ac- counts. Object of the search, which officials throug! | | | | led everal states, was to show would-be defrauders of in- surance eompantes “they can't get away with It,” officials sald. Now that this haa been done, further ac- tion may not be taken.
