Using a .32-cal. pistol he bought last year after being stabbed in the head by a holdup man, Leon Beach, 53, a Newark, NJ., grocer, routed 3 gunmen who tried to rob him and his partner, Joseph Opatowski.
Beach drew his holstered pistol and fired a shot which sent 2 of the gunmen running. The third, holding a pistol to Opatowski's head, stood his ground. Beach dropped him with a bullet that wounded him critically. (The New York Sunday News, New York, NY)
