...after the Philadelphia press and radio had made restrained mention of the story, a crowd of 50.000 flowed into Fairmount Park. Only a few claimed to see anything unusual, and most of their stories tended to conflict. Some of the visitors left money offerings ($2,300 so far). Park po lice took charge of the money temporarily, not knowing quite what to do with it. Last week, though diminished, crowds were still drifting into the park. The office of Philadelphia's Archbishop John F. O'Hara had no comment to make on the reported vision. But Father Nicholas...
