Balma denies romantic intent in suit over love telegrams
Peter Balma, Martha Raye's stepfather, testified he meant no romance when addressing 2 year old Nancy Dixon as Darling and sending telegrams “with all my love.” He argued he is an Arizona mining man, not her manager, and described their relationship as friendship and companionship. Dixon claims Balma betrayed her with a promise of marriage and produced rings as proof. The judge had denied a non-suit motion, allowing the case to proceed.
