MENTAL TELEPATHY.

A MURDER SEEN IN A DREAM.

In 1904, near Lesser Slave Lake, in Western Canada, a party of Moostoo Indians reported that they had seen a white man named King, “whose dog would not follow him” —a fact which excited suspicion in the keen Indian mind. Proceeding to investigate, the police turned over the ashes of a recent camp fire, finding bits of bones, and, in a hole, some flesh and a man’s heart. Wading into a neighbouring swamp, they came upon a pair of boots containing a gold nugget and several odds and ends, including a broken needle.

That broken needle was afterwares found to be a piece known to have been in the possession of King, who was arrested, tried, and hanged. Mr Haydon, who tells the story in his new book on the NorthWest Mounted Police of Canada, goes on to say:— “But the most extraordinary thing of all was the experience that fell to Henry Hayward, a brother of the murdered man.

“On the night of September :Bth (the day of the crime), while at his home in England, he had a dream in which was revealed to him the whole of the awful tragedy. He saw his brother shot and the remains burnt in a fire.

“Every detail of the crime was clear to him, even to the features of the man who was the assassin. “ This vision Mr Hayward related to his sister and others long before any message was received from the North-West Mounted Police, and thus vouched for, it must ever remain as a wonderful instance of mental telepathy.”
