               A    Oh, they give me a check and they told me to go to                
               the bank and cash the check, so she can pay the                        
               vendors.

               Q    So you went and cashed a check.                                   
               A    Correct, sir.                                                     
               Q    And what did you do with the cash?                                
               A    I gave it to her.                                                 
               Q    And how much was that check?

               Q    How many times did you do this?                                   
               A    Less than ten times.                                              
               Q    Okay.  Were these checks written from Privilege                   
               House?                                                                 
               A    No, sir.  Those checks were a customer’s check.                   
               Q    Okay.  And what--and when you went and cashed                     
               those checks, what did you do with the cash?

               teller and get the cash, and I give it to her.                         
               Then on cross-examination and in response to an inquiry                
          regarding petitioner’s visits to the family’s safe deposit boxes,           
          he testified:                                                               
               Q    Okay.  Was there ever any money in the safety                     
               deposit box?
