Joseph A. Marino had just left his New Orleans pharmacy and gotten in his automobile when a thug grabbed the car door, pointed a pistol at Marino, and said, "Yeah, it's me again." The pharmacist, recognizing the bandit as one who had recently held him up, seized his cal. .38 pistol resting on the seat and fired five times. The gunman fled into the night. When police and Marino later were called to a hospital where a bullet-wounded man sought aid, Marino identified him as his two-time assailant and the police recognized him as a fugitive with a record of 28 arrests.
