respondent was unwilling to make any concessions on this issue,
that petitioner had been advised of respondent's position, and
that petitioner was advised that she should appear at the recall
session for the conclusion of this case. Petitioner did not
appear at the recall of the case and never advised either the
Court or counsel for respondent as to her reason for failing to
appear.

sales tickets as evidence of the reduced amount of gross receipts

receipt to receipt, suggesting that there are other receipts
which Petitioner has not provided for Respondent's
inspection. And the Petitioner has represented that she
provided an adding machine tape to each bundle of receipts
and the total amount on the tape represents the total
