He robbed banks to use the money to help his friends escape prison.[2] It is believed that he killed the bishop Juan Soldevilla. Some anarchists believed Soldevilla helped people who murdered people in labor unions.
He died in Madrid when he was killed by a person using a gun during the Spanish Civil War.
