Note | Jack Seligman, from Bagels to Abortions
When last we mentioned Montreal baker Jack Seligman, it was to discuss his role in the drowning of 12 children, who didn't survive one of his boat rides in July 1954.
The very next year Seligman was busted in relation to the botched abortion death of Dora Blackburn, 33, whose body was dumped in an east end alley after she died from his attempted abortion on May 22 1955. (scroll up and to the left for the link Mtl Gaz June 2, '55 p.3)
His address was listed as 3955 St. Lawrence, now a sorta hipsterish are.
Of course the Seligman baking clan are famous for creating the Montreal bagel at 3835 St. L, That's just a few doors down from Seligman's listed address.
Blackburn needed an abortion so she got Mrs. Benny Bahanna, 47, to help. She, in turn, got Moses Pellatt, 55 to fix a meeting with a guy named Meyer Nachfolger. (Blackburn paid $200 and Cahanna got $100 of it). Meyer Nachfolger, 40, a drug store clerk, drove Blackburn to Jack Seligman's special place on Colonial.
Another $200 was split between Jack and Nachfolger. Seligman later telephoned Nachfolger to explain that Blackburn died.

Note | Remembering a Tragedy 62 years Later
Community Contact Staff Jul 11, 2016
This month, the community marks a somber anniversary as many families remember the events of July 13 1954, when 12 children between the ages of six and 11 drowned while on a picnic at Pointe aux Carriers Beach in Ile Bizard.
Among those who perished were eight girls and four boys: Denzil Alleyne 9; Margo Fonseca, 7; Marilyn Fonseca, 8; Brenda Kelly, Carol Leek, 6; Alan Leek, 7; Donna Lewis 10; Paula Milington, 6; Leon Nealy, 8; Diane Springer, 10; Edith Springer, 7; Estelle Walton, 11 and Doreen Walton, 8.
They were members of the Negro Community Centre Day Camp out on a picnic.
The 12 were among 17 kids packed on a 12-foot motorboat that belonged to Montreal businessman Jack Seligman, who offered to take them on what was supposed to be a joyride.
However, the boat stalled in the choppy waters and capsized.
According to newspaper reports , a witness on the scene that day remembered that the top of the boat was just an inch or two above the water. And, as it set out into the lake the winds increased and the water became rough.
Most of the children who drowned lived within a four-block radius bordered by Atwater and Greene avenues and St. Antoine and St. James (now St. Jacques) streets. Many were students at Queen’s Elementary School or Royal Arthur Elementary.
Newspaper reports about the incident stated that many of the parents and other members of the community found out about the tragedy on the radio and gathered at Union United Church to wait for the bus and the surviving children to return..
Only upon its arrival that’s when some parents found out that their precious little ones were gone forever.
