          lived. The last time petitioner and Abel had contact was on                  
          November 9, 1993.                                                            
          Receipt of the Cash                                                          
               According to petitioner, on November 9, 1993, Abel went to              
          petitioner’s home in Brookshire and requested petitioner to                  
          transport a significant amount of money for him to Mercedes.                 
          Petitioner agreed to do so; he neither questioned Abel as to the             
          source of the money nor asked for anything in return for                     
          transporting the money.  Only Abel and petitioner were present when          
          this meeting took place.                                                     
               Abel told petitioner that he was going to Houston and in a              
          couple of days would pass through Mercedes, at which time he would           
          meet petitioner and retrieve the money.  Abel gave no specific               
          details regarding the time or place where they would meet, other             
          than that he would locate petitioner by recognizing petitioner’s             
          truck outside the beer joint.  Petitioner agreed to transport the            
          money as a favor to Abel.                                                    
               Abel gave petitioner several tightly wrapped bundles of U.S.            
          currency, which in the aggregate totaled $99,880.  Each bundle was           
          several inches thick and contained currency in multiple                      
          denominations.  Abel cautioned petitioner not to show the money to           
          anyone.  Accordingly, petitioner decided to place the money in a             
          spare tire that was mounted under the rear of his 1991 Chevy pickup          
          truck.
