July 5, 1938 Albert Lea, Minnesota John Doe

 On July 5, 1938, a custodian of the Freeborn County Courthouse in Albert Lea, Minnesota found a man hanging in the clock tower of the building. He had unfortunately committed suicide and wasn't identified. 

He was a white male between 30 to 35-years-old. He was 5'7" and had long brown hair with a reddish tinge. He was wearing black oxford shoes, and a high-quality double-breasted grey suit with a light pinstripe, an almost new black raincoat. All laundry marks and manufacturer's labels on his clothing had been removed including his eyeglass case.
