At the age of 11, John committed his first murder when he shot a man, although he claimed it was not his fault.
He eventually ran away and tried to make his own luck living out in the streets. John was subsequently sent to an orphanage, where he spent the next few years. The circumstances around his death are unknown, although John was told that he died in the bar fight. However, he was blinded in a bar fight south of Chicago and died at some point later, when John was eight years old. His father was an illiterate Scottish immigrant who was born on the boat to New York, while his mother was a prostitute, who died during John's birth. John initially lived with his father, a man who loved Scotland and always talked about it.
