BESIDE PIUS X
LATE POPE'S RESTING PLACE ___ THREE COFFINS REMOVED (Received March 21, 10.45 a.m.) LONDON, March 20. The Rome correspondent of "The Times" says that Cardinal Hinsley has entrusted to the Vatican a new tomb in the crypt at St. Peter's for the remains of the Old and Young Pretenders and Henry, Cardinal of York. Their three coffins were removed in August from beside the coffin of Pope Pius X, where they have lain since 1807, because Pius XI chose this as his last resting place. James, Prince of Wales, known to the Jacobites as James 111 and to the Hanoverian Party as the Old Pretender, died in Rome in 1766. • He was buried with regal pomp at St. Peter's, where Canova's famous monument, erected by Pius VII in 1819, commemorates him and his two sons—Prince Charles Edward, known as the Young Pretender, who died in Rome in 1788, and Henry Benedict Stuart, who had an ecclesiastical career.
