                            JOHN DIFRONZO, Petitioner v.

               Docket No. 18476-96.                 Filed February 4, 1998.           


               Carl M. Walsh, for petitioner.

               RAUM, Judge:  The Commissioner determined a $31,635                    
          deficiency in petitioner's 1993 Federal income taxes.  There are            
          two issues for consideration:  (1) Whether petitioner properly              
          substantiated payment of $125,000 in legal fees to his attorney,            
          and (2) whether those fees, which were paid to defend petitioner,           
          unsuccessfully, against charges of conspiracy and mail and wire
