Holmes sent a telegram to the nearest telegraph office in Grimpen with explicit instructions that the other telegram to Barrymore is to be 'delivered into his own hand', which would have determined if Barrymore was at Baskerville Hall, but the postmaster did not follow the instructions.

He places Monsieur Bertillon above Holmes as having a more precisely scientific mind.
In The Hound of the Baskervilles, I do not believe that Holmes ever gave credence to the theory that the hound was supernatural or imaginary. When Sir Henry Baskerville lost his new boot then regained it while losing an old boot, this instructive incident proved conclusively to Holmes that the hound was real.

There are actually two Hugo Baskervilles in the story. Hugo (I) Baskerville is the one who supposedly started the curse who lived in the 1600's (his portrait is dated 1647). The 'curse' manuscript is dated 1742, and it is written by Hugo (II) Baskerville to his sons Rodger and John, with instructions that they say nothing thereof to their sister Elizabeth.' Sir Charles Baskerville is both Hugos direct descendant who died in June of the year of the story (circa 1889). The identity of the killer of the female is speculation. She could have been killed by Hugo (I), died of fright, died from injuries in a fall, or she may have been killed by the hound. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He was Sir Charles' ancestor and he kidnapped a girl form the local village then she tried to run away. Hugo chased after her, killed her, and then the dog killed him and this how the curse of the Baskervilles began. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sir Charles Baskerville is a descendant that has information about what happen on the night that the Yeoman's daughter and Hugo Baskerville are found dead. Hugo Baskerville is a wicked man who kidnapped a yeoman's daughter. He and his friends dragged her to Baskerville Hall where they locked her in the tower. While he was having dinner with his guests, the girl escaped. Once it was discovered that she was missing, Hugo Baskerville sent dogs to retrieve her. The guests ran to stop him, once they found out what he was intending. Yet, when they got to the woods they found that he had already killed her. However, he was also dead. A giant black hound was found tearing his throat. That is how the Curse of the Baskervilles began. ~SamanthieR
