George Peter Metesky (November 2, 1903 - May 23, 1994), better known as Mad Bomber , is an American electrical and mechanical specialist who terrorized New York City for 16 years 1940s and 1950s with explosives he planted in cinemas, terminals, libraries, and offices. Bombs are left in phone booths, storage lockers and toilets in public buildings, including Grand Central Terminal, Pennsylvania Station, Radio City Music Hall, New York Public Library, Port Authority Bus Terminal and RCA Building, and the New York City Subway. Metesky also bombed the cinema, where he cut the seat and tucked his explosive device inside.
Angry and irritated about the events surrounding workplace injuries suffered many years earlier, Metesky planted at least 33 bombs, 22 of which exploded, wounding 15 people. The hunt for bombers asks for the early use of the perpetrator profile. He was arrested based on the instructions given in the letter he wrote to the newspaper. He was found legally insane and committed to a state mental hospital.

Industrial injury
After World War I, Metesky joined the US Marines, serving as a specialist electrician at the US Consulate in Shanghai. Upon returning home, he worked as a mechanic for a subsidiary of the Consolidated Edison power company and lived in Waterbury, Connecticut, with two unmarried sisters. In 1931, Metesky worked as an eraser generator at the Hell Gate power plant when a boiler backfired generated a hot gas explosion. The explosion destroyed Metesky and smoke filled his lungs, choking him. The accident made him paralyzed and, after collecting 26 weeks of ill pay, he lost his job. According to claims disputed by Consolidated Edison, the accident caused pneumonia which in turn developed into tuberculosis. The worker's compensation claim was denied because he waited too long to file it. Three appeals of rejection were also rejected, the last of which was in 1936. He developed resentment against corporate lawyers and his three colleagues whose testimony in the case of compensation he believed to be false in the interest of the company.
He planted his first bomb on November 16, 1940, leaving it on the window sill at the Consolidated Edison power plant at 170 West 64th Street in Manhattan.

Bomb
The first two bombs were of little interest, but a series of random bombings that began in 1951 split the city's nerves and weighed on the resources of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). Metesky often placed a warning call to the buildings where he planted the bomb, but would not specify the exact location of the bomb; he wrote a newspaper warning that he planned to plant more. Some bombs come with notes, but they never reveal motives, or reasons for choosing a particular location.
The Metesky bomb is a powder bomb containing gunpowder, measuring from 4 to 10 inches (10-25 cm) in length and from 0.5 to 2 inches (1-5 cm) in diameter. Most of the timers used are built from flash batteries and cheap pocket watches. Investigators on bomb sites learn to look for wool socks - Metesky uses this to transport bombs and sometimes to hang them from a rail or projection.
Between 1940 and 1956, Metesky planted at least 33 bombs, 22 of which exploded, wounding 15 people.
1940-1941
Metesky's first bomb was a raw, short brass pipe filled with gunpowder, with a powering mechanism made of sugar and flashlight batteries. Closed in a wooden tool box and abandoned in a conserved Edison power console window, it was discovered before it could be turned off. It is wrapped in a note written in a distinctive block letter and signed "F.P.", states
CON EDISON CROOKS - THIS IS FOR YOU.
Some investigators wonder if the bomb is intentional, because if it explodes, the note will be obliterated.
In September 1941, a bomb with a similar ignition mechanism was found lying on the street about five blocks from the Consolidated Edison headquarters building in 4 Irving Place. This one has no record, and it is also useless. Police theorized that the bomber might have seen a police officer and dropped a bomb without setting the fuse.
Shortly after the United States entered World War II in December 1941, the police received letters in capital letters:
I WILL MAKE NO OTHER BOMBANG UNITS FOR WARRANTY - MY PATRIOTIC FEELS HAVE MADE THIS DECIDE THIS - THEN I WILL BRING CON EDISON TO JUSTICE - THEY WILL PAY FOR A VERY DESIRED AGREEMENT... F.P.
1951-1956
In accordance with his words, Metesky did not plant bombs between 1941 and 1951, instead choosing to send crank letters and postcards to police stations, newspapers, civilians, and Con Edison. Researchers who studied penciled messages noted that the letters of G and Y had strange shapes, perhaps showing European education. The long hiatus since the last bomb and the improved construction techniques of the first new bomb made investigators believe that the bombers had served in the military.
For the wave of his new bombing, Metesky primarily chose public buildings as targets, bombing some of them many times. Bombs left in phone booths, storage lockers and toilets in public buildings include Grand Central Terminal (five times), Pennsylvania Station (five times), Radio City Music Hall (three times), New York Public Library (twice), Harbor Terminal Bus Authority (twice) and RCA Building, as well as in New York City Subway. Metesky also bombed the cinema, where he cut the seat and tucked his explosive device inside.
1951
On March 29, the first Metesky bombs of a new wave, as well as the first Metesky bomb exploded, commuters were shocked at Grand Central Terminal but did not hurt anyone. It has fallen into a sand jar near the Grand Central Oyster Bar & amp; The restaurant is on the lower level of the terminal. In April, the next Metesky bomb exploded unhurt in a telephone booth at the New York Public Library; in August a telephone booth bomb exploded unharmed at Grand Central. The police dismissed the incident as a work of "boys or pranksters." The New York Times reports the event the following day, albeit with just a three paragraph summary at the bottom of page 24.
Metesky then planted a bomb that exploded unharmed on a pay phone at the Consolidated Edison headquarters building at 4 Irving Place. He also sent a bomb, which did not explode, to the Consolidated Edison of White Plains, New York.
On October 22, the New York Herald Tribune received a letter with a pencil-printed letter, stating
MOTHER WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE EDISON CONSOLIDATED COMPANY WITH JUSTICE FOR A BASIC ACROSS OF ME. I HAVE EXPERIENCED ALL OTHER MEANS. I AM WITH BOMBS TO CAUSE OTHERS TO SUBMIT TO JUSTICE FOR ME.
The letter directed the police to Paramount Theater in Times Square, where a bomb was found and disabled, and into a telephone booth at Pennsylvania Station where nothing was found.
On November 28, a coin-operated locker at the 14th Street IRT subway station was bombed, unscathed. Towards the end of the year, Herald Tribune received another letter, warning:
HAVE YOU SEEN BOMBS IN YOUR CITY - IF YOU ARE BAD, I AM SORRY - AND ALSO IF WHO IS INVOLVED. BUT CAN NOT PURCHASE - FOR JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED. I AM NOT GOOD, AND FOR THIS I WOULD MAKE CON EDISON SORRY - YES, THEY WILL REPRESENT AGAIN-SERVICE REQUIRED - I WILL BRING THEM BEFORE THE JUSTICE AGENCY - PUBLIC OPINIONS WOULD SAY THEM - TO BE CAREFUL, I WILL PLACE MORE UNITS BELOW THEATER CHAIRS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. F.P.
1952
On March 19, a bomb exploded in a telephone booth at the Port Authority Bus Terminal without causing any injuries. In June and again in December, a bomb exploded on a seat in the Lexington Avenue Loew theater. The December bombings injured one person, and it was the first Metesky bomb to cause the injury. Police have asked newspapers not to print bombing letters and to downplay previous bombings, but now the public is becoming aware that "Mad bombers" are on the loose.
1953
Bombs exploded on seats at Radio City Music Hall and at the Capitol Theater, unscathed. A bomb exploded again near the Oyster Bar at Grand Central Terminal, this time in a coin-operated chartered locker, again unscathed. Police described the bomb as a homemade product of "a freak looking for publicity". An unexploded bomb was found in a rented locker at Pennsylvania Station.
1954
A bomb wedged behind a sink in the Grand Central Terminal boy room exploded in March, slightly injuring three men.
A bomb planted in a telephone booth at the Port Authority Bus Terminal exploded unscathed. Another bomb was found in a telephone booth removed from Pennsylvania Station for repair.
As a capacity, the presence of Radio City Music Hall of 6,200 people who watched Bing Crosby White Christmas on November 7, a bomb crammed into the bottom cushion of a seat in the 15th row exploded, wounding four visitors. The explosion was muffled by heavy coatings, and only those nearby heard it. While the movie continued, the injured victim was escorted to the facility's first aid room and about 50 people in the nearby area were moved to the back of the theater. After the next stage of the movie and stage show ended one and a half hours later, the police arrested 150 seats in the blast area and began searching for evidence.
1955
A bomb exploded unharmed on a platform at the subway station IRT Sutter Avenue in Brooklyn. A bomb hanging under a telephone booth rack exploded on the main floor of Macy's department store, unscathed. Two bombs went off unharmed at Pennsylvania Station, one in a rented locker and one in a telephone booth. A bomb was found at Radio City Music Hall after a warning phone call.
At the Roxy Theater, a bomb fell out of a ripped seat to the carpentry desk without exploding. The seating bomb exploded at the Paramount Theater; one patron was struck in a shoe by a bomb shell but an unauthorized injury. Researchers found a small, small knife pushed into a chair, one of the few found in theater seat bombings. They theorized that the bomber left a knife behind him if he was stopped and questioned. In December, a bomb exploded unharmed at the Grand Central's kiosk.
1956
A 74-year-old male room clerk at Pennsylvania Station was badly injured when a bomb in the toilet bowl exploded. A young man has reported obstruction and the officer tries to clean it using a plunger. Among the porcelain fractions, the researchers found a skeleton of clocks and wool socks.
A guard at the RCA Building at Rockefeller Center found a five-inch piece of pipe in the telephone booth. The second guard thought it might be useful in the plumbing project and took him back to the bus to New Jersey, where he exploded on his kitchen table early in the morning. No one was hurt.
A December 2 bombing at the Paramount Theater in Brooklyn left six of the 1,500 injured theater residents, one serious, and attracted tremendous news coverage and editorial attention. The next day, Police Commissioner Stephen P. Kennedy ordered what he described as "the greatest hunt in the history of the Police Department."
On December 24, a New York Public Library employee used a phone booth dropping coins. Turning her head after she picked it up, she noticed the maroon socks held at the bottom of the rack by a magnet. The socks contained an iron pipe with a threaded cap at each end. After consulting with other employees, he threw the device out the window at Bryant Park, carrying a bomb squad team and more than 60 police officers and NYPD detectives to the scene. In a letter to the New York Journal of America the following month, Metesky said the Public Library bomb, as well as found later that same week in a seat in Times Square Paramount, had been planted months before.
discovery 1957
Eight months after Metesky's capture in January 1957, a bomb not found in several police searches was found at Lexington Avenue Loew's Theater by a coating repairing a recently damaged chair. It was the last of the three Metesky bombs planted there. The first two exploded, one in June 1952 and one in December 1952, with a December blast that resulted in one wound. Since the discovery of Loew, only two of the dozens of bombs Metesky claims to have planted remain unknown: one on the Con Edison site on the East River, the other at the Embassy Theater on 7th Avenue and 47th Street.
With the discovery of the third bomb of Loew, the police closed down their "Mad Bombers" case, saying that their search for the remaining two sites had been so meticulous that they were satisfied that the bombs were no longer there, if they did exist.
Search
Throughout the investigation, the prevailing theory is that the bomber is a former employee of Con Edison with a grudge against the company. Note the work of Con Edison is reviewed, but there are hundreds of other clues, tips and crank letters to be followed up. Detectives ranged far and wide, examining lawsuits, admissions to psychiatric hospitals, vocational schools where bomb sections might be created. Citizens turn to strange neighbors, and co-workers who seem to know a lot about bombs. A new group, the Bomb Investigation Unit, was formed to work on nothing but lead the bomber.
In April 1956, the department issued a multi-state warning to the person described as an expert mechanic, with access to a drill machine or lathe (due to its ability to install a pipe), which sent a letter from White Plains, over 40, and had a " profound hatred of the Edison Consolidated Company ". A warning circle describing homemade pipe bombs similar to the bomber was shared. Police distributed samples of the bomber's printing and asked anyone who might recognize him to let them know. A review of driver license applications in White Plains, the city favored by bombers to post their letters, found similarities in 500 of them for bombers printing; the names were forwarded to the NYPD for investigation.
The bombing of Brooklyn Paramount December 2, 1956 attracted tremendous news coverage and editorial attention. The next day, Police Commissioner Stephen P. Kennedy met with the commander of each NYPD division and ordered what he called "the greatest hunt in the history of the Police Department." Calling the bomber's activity as "an intolerable outrage," he promised "prompt promotion" to anyone who captured the bomber, and directed the commander to remind each troop member of the absolute need of the arrest.
On December 27, 1956, the New York City Council, the Estimate and the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association sent $ 26,000 in exchange for the fear of the bomber.
Disorders
Throughout the search, simulated bombs and fake bomb reports squandered police resources and frightened anxious public.
Around 1951 Frederick Eberhardt, 56 years old and like Metesky, a former employee of Con Edison with a grudge, sent a simulated pipe bomb filled with sugar to the company's personnel director at 4 Irving Place. Eberhardt was charged with sending threatening material by mail. On his indictment in November, an assistant district attorney told the judge, "This defendant is a source of special annoyance to the New York City police, we are absolutely convinced that he is unwell He has sent a bomb simulation around the city several months ago. Hundreds of police have been summoned at all hours of the day and night to investigate for his actions. "Eberhardt was sent to Bellevue Hospital for psychiatric examination. A few months later the case was dismissed after Eberhardt's lawyer successfully declared that the package contained no "written threat", as required by law.
In October 1951, the main waiting room at Grand Central Terminal was evacuated and 3,000 lockers were ransacked after a telephone bomb warning. The search involves more than 35 NYPD personnel, and takes three hours because 1,500 lockers are in use and only one master key is available. When each locker is opened, the bomb squad caresses its contents, keeping the portable fluoroscope ready.
On December 29, 1956, at the peak of bogus reports from cinemas, department stores, schools and offices, a note left in a telephone booth at Grand Central Terminal reported that a bomb had been placed in the Empire State Building, which required a search of all 102 floors of landmarks. A 63-year-old railroad worker was picked up at Grand Central as the suspect died of a heart attack while being questioned at the home of East 35th Street station. The investigation then removes it as a suspect.
Profile
Fingerprint experts, handwriting experts, bomb investigation units and other NYPD groups are working with dedication but making little progress. With a seemingly useless traditional police method against Metesky's unexplained bombing campaign, police captain John Cronin approached his friend, James Brussel, a criminologist, psychiatrist, and assistant commissioner of the New York State Commission for Hygiene. Captain Cronin asked Brussels to meet with Superintendent Howard E. Finney, head of the NYPD Crime Laboratory.
In his office with Finney and two detectives, Brussels examined photographs and criminal letters and discussed the work and power skills of the bombers. When he spoke with the police, Brussels developed what he called a "portrait" of the bomber, what is now referred to as the perpetrator profile. The bomber's conviction that he had been harmed by Edison Consolidation and by others acting together Consolidated Edison seemed to dominate his mind, leading Brussels to conclude that the bomber suffered from paranoia, a condition he referred to as "chronic malignant development disorder, characterized by persistent delusions, irreversible, systematic, and logically constructed. "Based on his own evidence and experience dealing with psychotic criminals, Brussels put forth a number of evident vengeful theories against Consolidated Edison:
Men, as most historical bombers are men. Both proportionate and build on average, based on the study of mental patients hospitalized. Forty to fifty years, when paranoia develops slowly. Right, neat and tidy, based on his letters and bombing work. Exemplary employees, timely and well behaved. A Slav, because bombs are favored in Central Europe. A Catholic, as most Slavs are Catholic. Polite but not friendly.
Have a good education but maybe not college. Born overseas or live in a community of foreigners born - formal tones and ancient sentences of the letters were heard for Brussels as if they had been written or thought out in a foreign language and then translated into English. Based on the round letter "w" of the handwriting, believed to represent the breasts, and the cutting and stuffing of the theater seat, Brussels thinks something about sex has disturbed the bomber, perhaps the oedipus complex - loves her mother and hates her father and other authority figures.
A loner, no friends, little interest in women, maybe a virgin. Not married, perhaps living with older female relatives. Maybe live in Connecticut, because Connecticut has a high concentration of Slavs, and many bomber letters are posted in Westchester County, in the middle between Connecticut and New York City.
Brussels also estimates to its visitors that when the bomber is caught, he will wear a double-breasted suit, buttoned.
Although police policy is to keep the bomber's investigation low, Brussels convinces them to publicize the profile widely, predicting that any faulty assumptions made within it will encourage bombers to respond. Under the title "16-Year Search for a Madman", the New York Times version of the profile summarizes the main predictions:
Single men, aged between 40 and 50 years old, introverted. Not socializing but not anti-social. Mechanical skilled. Cunning. Neat with tools. Egotistical mechanical skills. Degrading others. Hate criticism for his work but may hide hatred. Moral. Honest. Not interested in women. High school graduate. An expert in civilian or military armaments. Religious. It may be lit up loudly at work when criticized. Possible motives: discharge or rebuke. Feels superior to criticism. Hate continues to grow. Present or former Consolidated Edison worker. Probably a progressive paranoia case.
The newspaper published a profile on December 25, 1956, in addition to the story of the so-called "Christmas Eve" bombs found in the Public Library. By the end of the month, fake bombs and false confessions have risen to epidemic proportions. At the height of hysteria on December 28, police received more than 50 false alarm bombs, over the next 20 days.
Journal-America
The day after the profile was published, the New York Journal-American published an open letter, prepared in collaboration with the police, urging bombers to surrender. The newspaper promised a "fair trial" and offered to publicize its complaints. Metesky replied the following day, signing his letter "F.P.". He said that he would not surrender himself, and expressed a desire to "bring Con Edison to justice". He recorded all the locations where he had placed the bombs that year, and seemed worried that maybe not everything had been found. Later in the letter he said
My days on earth count - most of his adult life has been spent in bed - my comfort is - that I can repay - even from my grave - for cowardice against me.
After some police edits, the newspaper published Metesky's letter on January 10, along with another open letter asking for more information about her complaint.
Metesky's second letter gives some details about the material used in the bomb (he liked gun powder, because "gun powder has very little force"), promised a "truce" bombing until at least March 1, and wrote "I was injured in a job at the factory Consolidated Edison - as a result I was convicted - total and permanent disability ", went on to say that he had to pay his own medical bills and that Consolidated Edison had blocked the workers' compensation case. He also said
When a rider injures a dog - he has to report it - not so with an injured worker - he judges inferior to a dog - I try to get my story to the press - I try hundreds more - I type tens of thousands of words (about 800,000) no one cares - [...] - I am determined to make this cowardly act known - I have plenty of time to think - I decided to bomb.
After police edits, the paper published its letter on January 15 and asked the bomber for "details and further dates" on the compensation case so a new and fair trial could be held.
Metesky's third letter was received by the newspaper on Saturday, January 19th. The letter complained of lying unnoticed for hours in "cold concrete" after the injury without first aid, then developed pneumonia and then tuberculosis. The letter added details about the missing compensation case and the "oaths" of his co-workers, and gave his wound date, September 5, 1931. The letter stated that if he did not have a family to "brand" by surrendering himself, he might consider to return the compensation case. He thanked the American-American Journal for publicizing the case and said "the bombardment will not continue." The letter was published Tuesday, the day after Metesky was arrested.
Identify
Officer Con Edison Alice Kelly for days has been exploring corporate workers compensation files for employees who have serious health problems. On Friday, January 18, 1957, while searching for the last file of the "inconvenient" worker compensation case files - where a threat was made or implied - he found a file marked in red with the words "injustice" and "permanent disability ", words that have been printed on the Journal-American . The file shows that a George Metesky, an employee from 1929 to 1931, was injured in a factory crash on September 5, 1931. Several letters from Metesky in the file use words similar to those in the American Journal , including the phrase "cowardly deed". The police were notified shortly before 5:00 that night. Initially they treated the notices simply as "one of a number" of instructions they were working on, but asked the Waterbury police to do a "secret check" on George Metesky and the house on 17 Fourth Street.
After Metesky's arrest, initial police statements showed his archive findings to a NYPD detective. Later, the report developed in the prize investigation confessed that Alice Kelly had found the file, and explained misplaced credit because of a misunderstanding of the file "taken" by the detective (in Con Edison's office on Monday morning) as the file was "selected" ( of many). Although the NYPD officially credit Kelly by altering the clues that led to Metesky's arrest, he declined to claim a $ 26,000 prize, saying he was just doing his job. Edison's consolidated board of directors also refused to file a prize, prompting a group of shareholders to file as representatives of Kelly and the company.
Police investigators who then reviewed the road leading them to Metesky said that Con Edison had stifled an investigation for nearly two years by repeatedly informing them that the record of employees whose services were terminated before 1940, the Metesky group was in, had been destroyed.. The researchers said they had learned about the existence of the tape only on January 14th, through a secret tip, and that even in the face of police demands and formal requests Con Edison stalled, stating that the letters were legal documents and that the department's corporate law should consulted before granting access. Statement by consolidated president Edison says this is due to "misunderstanding".
Capture
Accompanied by Waterbury police, four NYPD detectives arrived at Metesky's home with a search warrant just before midnight on Monday, January 21, 1957. They asked for handwritten samples, and to make a letter G . He made G , looked up and said, "I know why you're here.You think I'm the Mad Bomber." Detective asked what "F.P." standing up, and he replied, "F.P. is short for Fair Play."
He leads them to the garage, where they find the lathe. At home they found pipes and connectors suitable for hidden bombs in the pantry, as well as three cheap pocket watches, flashlight batteries, brass terminal knobs, and unmatched wool socks of the kind used for transporting bombs. Metesky had answered the door with his pajamas; after he was ordered dressed for a trip to Waterbury Police Headquarters, he appeared dressed in a double-breasted suit, buttoned.
Interrogation
Metesky told the officer who caught that he had been "gassed" in Con Edison's accident, had been hit by tuberculosis as a result, and started planting bombs because he "got a bad deal". Passing the police list of 32 bomb locations, but never using the word "bomb", he remembers the exact date at which each "unit" has been placed, and its size. He then added to the police list the size, date and location of 15 early bombs unknown to the police - all remaining at Con Edison's location, and apparently never reported. When his Ed Edison bomb was not mentioned in the newspaper, he started planting bombs in public places to get publicity for what he called "injustice" he did. He also confirmed the reason no bombs were planted during US involvement in World War II - former Marines have been abstained "for patriotic reasons".
In their search, police found sections for a bomb that would be bigger than the others. Metesky explained that it was meant for the New York Coliseum.
Indictment
Metesky claimed to have 32 bombs. After the grand jury heard testimony from 35 witnesses including police officers and wounded, he was indicted on 47 counts - attempted murder, destroyed a building with an explosion, life-threatening life, and violation of New York State's Sullivan Law with hidden weapons, the bomb. Seven charges of attempted murder were charged, based on seven injured persons in the preceding five years, the law of limitations in this case. Metesky was taken to the courtroom to hear the indictment from Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan, where he underwent a psychiatric examination.
Commitment to Matteawan
After hearing from psychologists, Judge Samuel S. Liebowitz stated Metesky's tubercular paranoid schizophrenic, "discouraged and incurable both mentally and physically", and found it legally insane and incompetent to stand trial. On April 18, 1957, Judge Liebowitz conducted Metesky to Matteawan Hospital for Criminal Insanity in Beacon, New York.
Expected to live only a few weeks due to advanced tuberculosis, Metesky should be taken to the hospital. After one and a half years of treatment, his health improved, and a newspaper article written fourteen years later described the 68-year-old Metesky as "strong and healthy".
When he was at Matteawan, the American Journal hired a leading employee compensation lawyer Bartholomew James O'Rourke to appeal the unauthorized claims of 1931 injury, arguing that Metesky was mentally incompetent at the time. and do not know his rights. Appeal rejected.
Metesky is unresponsive to psychotherapy, but is a model prisoner and does not cause any problems. He was visited regularly by his sisters and occasionally by Brussels, to whom he would show that he had purposely built his bomb to not kill anyone.
Release
In 1973, the United States Supreme Court ruled that a mentally ill defendant could not commit to a hospital operated by the New York State Department of Corrections unless the jury considered it dangerous. Since Metesky had committed to Matteawan without a jury trial, he was transferred to the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, a state hospital outside the penal system.
The doctor decides that he is harmless, and since he has served two-thirds of the maximum 25-year sentence he will receive at the hearing, Metesky was released on December 13, 1973. His sole condition was that he made regular visits to the Connecticut Mental Health Clinic Department near his home.
Interviewed by a reporter after being released, he says that he has committed violence, but reaffirms his anger and hatred towards Consolidated Edison. He also stated that before he started planting his bomb,
I wrote 900 letters to the Mayor, to the Police Commissioner, to the newspaper, and I never even got a money-back postcard. Then I went to the newspaper to try to buy advertising space, but all of them refused me. I am forced to bring my story to the public.
Metesky returned to his home in Waterbury, where he died 20 years later at the age of 90.
