          received for the drugs appropriated during the Gonzales search.             
          Grove was convicted of possession of cocaine with intent to                 
          distribute and aiding and abetting with respect to the Gonzales             
          drugs.  Ryan and Cattalo were not on the search.  Ryan did not              
          testify about receiving money from the search.  We do not believe           
          that Ryan or Cattalo received money from the sale of the drugs.             
          We find that Grove received $1,000 from the sale of the Gonzales            
          drugs.                                                                      
               Reid Baker Search                                                      
               On November 16, 1983, Reid Baker (Baker) was stopped while             
          driving to Karasinski's store to sell Karasinski about 2 ounces             
          of cocaine.  Karasinski had provided Hund with the information to           
          set up the stop, in which Hund, Grove, Ryan, and Cattalo                    
          participated.  Baker had $1,262 on his person which was returned            
          to him.  Then the officers searched Baker's residence with                  
          Baker's written consent.  Prior to the search, Baker had $2,000             
          in one pocket of a suit hanging in his closet and $3,000 in                 
          another pocket.  During the search, the officers placed $2,000 on           
          a table where Baker could see it.  They arrested Baker.                     
               When Baker returned to his residence from the police                   
          station, he saw the $2,000 still lying on the table; however, the           
          other $3,000 was missing from his suit pocket.  Baker did not see           
          anyone take the money.29  After the search, Hund and Grove took             


          29   During the time of the search, Baker was having his house              
          painted and the painters had keys to the house.
