After an investigation by Lieutenant Von Stockhausen, it has been determined that the story about a duel between Adolf Hartmann of Duluth, Minnesota, and Lieutenant Pachmann of the German army was a fabrication. Hartmann had a dispute with a fellow student but never fought a duel. He also denied writing to his father about the matter.
