MIRACLE OF GOD?
'Medically Hopeless1 Man's
Recovery From Gangrene Is
Subject Of Church's Inquiry
LAFAYETTE, La., Nov. 28. UP) Did a miracle of God re
store to health a man doctors thought was dying of gangrene
20' months ago? '!
The Roman Catholic church is making an official investiga
tion in. an effort to determine If divine intervention saved the life of
Herbert Theriot of Franklin, La. ' .

session began Saturday. '

inary gave these details:
Theriot underwent an opera
tion at Franklin in April, 1948,
for appendicitis. After the inci
sion was made, the surgeon and
attendants saw that gangrene had
begun. The Incision was closeu
and Theriot 's condition' was ad
judged medically hopeless.
The dying man put himself un
der the care of Pere Antolne
Moreau, founder of the congre
gation, of the Holy Cross In 1946.
A rapid cure followed and
Theriot now is in good health.
Medical witnesses said tne re
covery was of a nature consid
ered "miraculous and marvelous."
Theriot is expected to testify
during the process to determine
if the cure may be credited to
"special Intervention of God
through the Intercession of Fa
ther Moreau."
