Ex-Sweetheart at Youths Trial in Mississippi
Ronnie Pitts, 18, on trial for his life for the murder of Perry Henderson, a vacuum cleaner company executive, last June 25. The defendant says the shooting was accidental after he went to Henderson’s home to discuss his romance with Anna Henderson, a 16-year-old girl who sat in court as jurors were chosen. The state has preliminarily filled a jury panel, with defense to question once full panel approved. A separate note reports a baby atom-smasher built in Holland, 9,000,000-volt, lightweight enough to be carried to a job rather than moved to.
