warehouse depot while significant amounts of government property were stolen from the vault.  The government's prosecution of Adams and others for the unauthorized disappearance of such property grew out of an undercover investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI").  On appeal, Adams contests the denial of his motion for a new trial.  Most of Adams' complaints about his trial, such as his attorney's protestations that the jury was negatively influenced by the judge's comments during the trial directing her to speed up her examinations of witnesses, are frivolous.

One claim meriting consideration on appeal is the contention that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict.  While the evidence is indeed thin, it is by no means insubstantial enough to merit setting aside thejury verdict.

Adams was an employee of ARA Services, Inc., which contracted with the GSA to handle receiving, shipping and storage of GSA supplies and equipment at the GSA warehouse facility in Springfield, Virginia.  Howard Luker, a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent, posed as a truck driver and went by the name of William, or Billy, O'Neil.  From March to September, 1986, Luker bought GSA property from Harold Johnson (Harold), another ARA employee.  In August, 1986, Luker asked Harold about the possibility of buying power tools.  The tools were in the vault, a fenced-in area within the warehouse, where expensive items were kept and access was limited to authorized personnel.  Luker proposed buying vault property during Luker's next trip, on September 4, 1986.
