II any further evidence or Bovede's
insanity were needed, It came also to-
day from doctors who had attended
him for months here and in New York,
and from the nuns OF the convent n
Lexington avenue where he was a pa
tient for some time. All say thai he
was continually upon the point OF
nervou collapse and had barely es-
capped Incarceration several times on
the ground that his mind wes at least
wavertng.
Didn,t ssy IL Was Unreauited.
But he would never tell even his
family that II was unreduftad love foT
Iva Reed that was driving him insane
His mother, Mrs. Filipino Boveda, said
this afternoon that her family had not
SO much as an inkling OF her sons
passion for the pretty girl. h only
knew hat when, some weeks ago, he
was suddenly discharged from the Edi-
sos Company he declared that he die
not care to live any more-and never
wanted to see any woman but his
mother and his sister again.
They thought they had nursed him
back to a rational state OF mind again,
particularly when he agreed to go back
to New York. from which city the
family had moved a 0 a ago, and re.
turn to his old position with the Da De
Lima Company.
But apparently the Spaniard could
not rid himself of his desire to press
his unweicome SUIT. He haunted the
Edison Office continually. Once when
the man accosted her as she was ieav-
ing the ONCE with several girls at her
side, Miss Reed told him fatty that
the next time he annoyed her she
would summon a policeman.
Her mother today said she herself
had advised thai step, but she saio
that the girl shranx from the notoriety
It would bring her.
Mrs. Reed Caused His Dfsmissai.
Mrs. Reed added that she herself
had brought about the DISCHARGE OF tbs
man from the Edison works when after
many warnings he refused to discon-
tinue his attentions TO her daughter.
iva did not like him, nor did any
OF U.s., and We had been warned that
he was dangerous. Now. when II ie
too late-and she is dead-I wish with
all my heart that | had had him locked
up months ago"
