heirlooms." At trial, petitioner testified about the
jewelry contained in safe deposit box No. 301640 as
follows:
Q Now, let's talk for a minute about
the jewelry.
The jewelry that was in the safety
deposit box were pieces of jewelry that
you did not wear on a regular basis?
A That's correct.
Q Okay. Describe for His Honor how
you came into possession of those
pieces of jewelry. Were they gifts?
A Yes, a lot of these things were
sentimental things; they were heirlooms
that were passed down from my grand-
mother, who I had taken care of over
the years. She had heart pins and her
necklace and her jewelry that I was
given to -- given to me. And my mother
had passed away. I had my mother's
jewelry also in there.
Based upon that testimony, petitioner asks the Court to

38. Petitioner did use the safe deposit box
which contained her jewelry.
39. Petitioner came into these pieces of jewelry
