If You Do the Crime, Don’t Talk in Your Sleep

I've heard you talking in your sleep,

While researching some other things, I came across these two stories, and since they were so similar, I realized they needed to be put together. The first story is from 1906 and the second one from 1911. They both involve people whose crimes were discovered because they talked in their sleep.

People do talk in their sleep, that’s certainly true. However, these stories sound just a little too good to be true. More like a scene of someone talking in his or her sleep in a cheap comedy. You know, the sort of movie where the protagonist falls asleep and mumbles some embarrassing detail in the earshot of the wrong person. It always feels somewhat pat and contrived when it happens in a movie, so how ready are we to believe when someone tells us it happens in real life?
