                                       - 11 -                                         
                    Q    Did you believe that your husband was paying                 
               the family taxes?                                                      
                    A    Yes.                                                         
                    Q    Was there anything at all in just how your                   
               husband behaved that would indicate that he didn’t have                
               the financial ability to pay the taxes?                                
                    A    No.                                                          
                    Q    Were you aware that he was ever negligent in                 
               paying taxes at the time?                                              
                    A    At that time?                                                
                    Q    Yes.                                                         
                    A    No.                                                          
                    Q    There was nothing that made you think that he                
               wasn’t going to pay taxes for a year?                                  
                    A    No.                                                          
                    Q    As far as you knew did he make all the tax                   
               payments on time?                                                      
                    A    As far as I knew.                                            
          On cross-examination, petitioner testified:                                 
                    Q    * * *  You stated that you believed your                     
               husband was paying taxes.  What do you base your belief                
               on?                                                                    
                    A    Nothing was said that there were--there was                  
               nothing told to me that bills were not being paid.                     
                    Q    Did you ever ask him if he would be paying                   
               the taxes?                                                             
                    A    I don’t recall.  I could have but I don’t                    
               recall asking him that.
