Washington, Feb. 6.--One days
efforts to determine, by expert
stenographers, the genuineness of J,
T.. Sheridan's stenographic report of
Charles McGowan's alleged perjury
admission made the Senate Lorimer
Committee 80 weary today that 1t
voted to try another method. 1t was
resolved to put young Sheridan to a
practical test in the committee
rooms, staged after the fashion Of
the hotel rooms at Toronto where
McGowan was alleged to have talked
into Photographic apparatus.
An executive session was held this
evening to determine the nature of
this test. After the conclusion of the
testimony of Milton w, Blumenberg.
III. Fl. Peachin, local commercial
stenographer, and Abe Cochrane,
one of the official House stenograph-

in reporting the Lorimer committee,
testified as to the notes.
' All said in answer to hypothetical
questions that they considered it i'm
possible to make such a record under
the conditions which Sheridan
worked.
Attorney Hanecy objected to being
deprived entirely Of the privilege OF
presenting expert testimony on the
theory that any test would, at the
best, merely demonstrate sheridan's
capacity to take notes and not to
decide whether he took the particu-
lar notes on particular occasion.
