After the death of Lillian Daly, a very devout girl of Chicago, the
report spread that a “sacred heart” could be seen on the wall of the
room wherein she had died and that if any afflicted person should touch
this heart he or she would be instantly cured. At once the house at
6724 Justine Street was visited by numbers of ill persons, all eager to
experience the magic cure. Two priests from neighborhood parishes visited
the house, but said they could not see the apparition.
