Yes, Gene does tell Finny the truth. This is when Gene visits Finny in his mother's house. Gene knew he was guilty and felt the need to confess to Finny. Gene told him that he purposefully jounced the limb to knock Finny out of the tree. However, Finny was hurt more by what Gene admitted to then what Gene did. Finny told Gene to get out of his house. Later, when Finny came back to school, he ignored this conversation.
