               A    Yes, sir.                                                         
               Q    Does that show there?                                             
               A    Yes, sir.  Those are reflected in the columns                     
               above, 10, 11, and 12.                                                 
               Q    So then the source of this $140,000 unknown                       
               deposit on ledger card 70501, on 93-R, is the loan from                
               Mr. Margolis?                                                          
               A    Yes, sir.                                                         
          Unlike petitioner’s testimony with respect to the deposit of                
          $84,521.63 on September 16, 1986, petitioner’s testimony with               
          respect to this deposit cannot be substantiated with the                    
          testimony of other witnesses or with evidence of record.                    
          Petitioner did not call Richard Margolis to testify, and he did             
          not submit any evidence or documentation to show that the                   
          $140,000 Dean Witter check was a loan from Mr. Margolis.63                  
          Accordingly, we find petitioner’s testimony to be self-serving              
          and of no assistance to him.                                                
               Petitioner expends considerable effort to establish that on            
          July 12, 1988, $97,893.78 was transferred from the Medlin/Prather           
          Ranch Property ledger card (no. 70501) to the Medlin/Partin                 
          ledger card (no. 70042), and that on that same date, $97,893.78             
          was disbursed to Edward L. and Constance Partin, Mike Partin, and           


               63Petitioner cites the testimony of Revenue Agent Sherri               
          Blackton that petitioner would at times borrow funds which were             
          secured by giving a deed to the property with an option to buy              
          the property back.  However, this does not establish that                   
          petitioner engaged in this type of transaction with Richard                 
          Margolis on this particular occasion.
