                  During the years in issue, Mrs. Vetrano knew that                   
             petitioner’s income was derived principally from his                     
             automobile parts business.  She was also aware of the                    
             payments that he received from BMAP.  She played a role in               
             negotiating the checks that petitioner received from BMAP.               
             During 1991 and 1993, she signed or countersigned checks in              
             the aggregate amounts of $7,650 and $52,157, respectively.               
             During 1993, she also cashed 34 checks in the aggregate                  
             dollar amount of $48,203 at the race track where she was                 
             employed.  Finally, during 1993, she signed a check in the               
             amount of $2,603 and deposited it into a bank account that               
             she maintained at Mid Atlantic Bank.                                     
                  Mrs. Vetrano handled the couple’s household finances.               
             She made deposits into the separate checking accounts                    
             maintained by herself and her husband, and she signed                    
             checks drawn on both accounts to pay household expenses.                 
             The deposits that she made into the couple’s separate                    
             checking accounts consisted mostly of cash and were in                   
             amounts that approximated the couple’s monthly bills.  She               
             obtained the cash for her monthly deposits by cashing her                
             own payroll checks and by asking petitioner for cash.
