"No, sir."
Vorys paused momentarily. "The late Mr. Janson was supposed to have undergone reanimation several months before your employment at Beller. Is it possible that he did experience treatment there, and that you don't know about it?"
"I've examined the list of patients at Beller since the beginning of experiments there. No one named Janson is on the list."
"Perhaps he entered under another name."
"We have photographs of all patients, Senator. None of them corresponded to the photo of Mr. Janson published in the newspapers."
"In other words, you deny that he was ever a patient of the laboratories?"
"Exactly."
"But a close friend of the late Mr. Janson claims that he did secretly enter the Beller laboratories of his own free will shortly before his death of natural causes, was reanimated, and suffered such mental disturbance afterward that he took his own life."
Harker said quietly, "It's obvious that one party is lying, isn't it? Our records indicate that no such person ever entered the labs for treatment. The burden of proof, I believe, rests with the other party."
"We have only your word for this," Vorys went on obstinately. "And you are not even under oath. Will you make these records of yours available for public inspection?"
