Chicago American, February 24, 1921.
New Orleans, Feb. 24.--Because Capt. H.J. Ruffier, warden of
the House of Detention, dreamed there was a jail delivery
on, a general effort to escape from the prison was
frustrated. Forty prisoners confined in one big room, on the
Tulane avenue side of the building, were detected working at
the bars of a window and picking at brickworks under another
window when discovered.
This dream may be attributed to mental telepathy. The prisoners
evidently have been planning their escape for days. (Creating thought
forms.) It was possible for the warden in sleep, out of his body, to
be mentally impressed of the delivery and bring it through into waking
consciousness.
