Very likely it could. The circumstances of each time Twain's voice was 
recorded are known, and I assume you could compare a recording to voice 
prints of some of those who recorded Twain's work in their own voices as 
early as 1910 to eliminate those fellows as suspects. I have original 
recordings of Harry Humphreys reading Twain's works from 1910, 1915 and 
1921, and have two different recordings by William Gillette who imitated 
Twain many times in the 1920s and 30s. I know the circumstances of every 
occasion when Twain's voice was recorded and what exactly was recorded in 
most of those instances. Why do you ask?
