Crowd Hoping for Recurrence of Virgin Mary Vision

(Original Caption) Hoping for a recurrence of the "vision" of the Virgin Mary which 9-year-old Joseph Vitolo, a Bronx boy, claims to have seen, this crowd gathered in the rain at a vacant lot between Villa Avenue and the Grand Concourse today. The boy said he saw the Virgin Mary atop a 15 foot rock formation in the lot October 30. Since then he has had several conversations with the "Vision". Joseph is now confined to his home because neighbors and pilgrims insist on snipping pieces from his hair and kissing his hand.
