Text: Mosteller's former wife, Barbara Bromley, was president of Trend. She testified that at the time she was quoted prices by Mosteller, she was not aware of any charges other than the cost of the furniture, but later she was billed by Mosteller's company, Royal Installations, for installation and abandoned samples, although installation was not required on the job. She was surprised when the Inter Royal invoice was much lower than the Inter Royal price quoted by Mosteller. The invoice received from Royal Installations for installation and abandoned samples was $41,000. She requested a breakdown of these charges, and paid Mosteller $25,000 under duress when he threatened her life. Mosteller sued her and her company for the balance of $16,000, but they never were required to pay. Mrs. Bromley also testified that she had found a copy of Mosteller's analysis sheet showing the actual prices charged by Inter Royal and the amounts quoted by Mosteller to various vendors. It appeared that Mosteller quoted higher cost prices to vendors than he received from Inter Royal, and that he gave different prices to different vendors for the same pieces of furniture.
