Ellen said impatiently, "What did you find out, Dee?"

"I guessed," Borden told her. "But I'd bet on my guesses. For one

thing, the group in this vehicle was a family. One was taller and

stockier than the others. I could be wrong, but I think it was the

male--the father. There is a slightly smaller, slightly slenderer

skeleton there, too. It has jewelry on it. And there are two smaller

skeletons." He took a deep breath. "The small skeletons were laid out

neatly, comfortably. The next to largest skeleton was with them. The

stocky skeleton.... He'd killed himself, Jerry?"

"The weapons make holes like that, sir," said Jerry. "I tried one on

the ground. Even in the ground cars where there were no weapons, one

skeleton was always like that, with a hole in the skull."

"Yes," said Borden. "They must have loaned the weapons to each other

for that purpose."
