I found a one dollar bill in my mum’s jewellery box the other day and why she was keeping a dollar and why she had a one in the first place (considering she has never been to America in her life). So she explained that her aunt Marion had a friend called Matty who used to take lodgers into her house in Greenock during the 1960s. One of Matty's lodgers was an American sailor who used to rent a room in Matty's house when he wasn't at sea. So one day my mum and her aunt Marion went to visit Matty and the lodger happened to be in the house. He talked to my mum and, for no apparent reason, gave her a one dollar bill. It turned out that the man had been brought in for questioning by the police several times for supposedly being the notorious Glasgow serial killer ‘Bible John’. He was a suspect because he went to the dancing at the Barrowland on the nights of the murders, fitted the description, had the same car that had been described by victims and other evidence that wasn’t disclosed. The man was never found guilty and I think he moved back to America not long after the whole thing but, for some reason, my mum still keeps his dollar bill.
