               Q  Mr. Wadsworth, are you going to claim the Fifth                     
               Amendment for each and every question that I ask of you                
               regardless of what the subject matter of that question                 
               is?                                                                    
               A  Fifth Amendment.                                                    
               The Court:  Any further questions?                                     
               Ms. Ravi:  No further questions, Your Honor.                           
               The Court:  The witness will step down.                                


               Respondent's next witness was Carolyn Stello (Ms. Stello).             
          Ms. Stello is the owner of Collection Services (Services) and has           
          worked at Services since 1985.  Services collects the interest              
          due on notes and deeds of trust executed by buyers of property              
          and distributes the income to the sellers (beneficiaries).                  
               In December of 1987, petitioner became a client of Services.           
          He has two accounts at Services on which he is an income                    
          beneficiary.                                                                
               On July 1, 1986, petitioner and his wife, Charlotte N.                 
          Wadsworth (Charlotte), signed an exclusive authorization and

               2.  Terms of Sale:  The purchase price shall be sixty-
