died shortly after that in December, 2014, at age 94, bare-
ly three years after blowing his own cover in the cathedral
stunt, one of Helena history's biggest mysteries. Although
he'd spoken of splitting the spires for decades, he didn't
want it to become public knowledge, probably in fear of re-
prisal. But on that afternoon in Helena, he decided to come
clean, starting with the members of the very church where
the shocking incident took place. Why did he spill the beans
after guarding the secret for most of his life?
"If there was some statute of limitations on that crime," he
said in an interview shortly before he died, tongue firmly in
cheek, "it surely expired by now."
