This is from chapter 14 of the story:
... Even now, in the stillness of death, the huge jaws seemed to be dripping with a bluish flame, and the small, deep-set, cruel eyes were ringed with fire. I placed my hand upon the glowing muzzle, and as I held them up my own fingers smouldered and gleamed in the darkness.
__'Phosphorus,' I said.
The hound appeared to glow due to phosphorous.

Stapleton killed Sir Charles Baskerville, by setting his hound on him. The dog was made up to look like a hellhound and it is heavily implied- if not blatently stated? that the dog was starved and possibly beaten. It didn't kill him, though- he saw it and he died of fright, which I think is what Stapleton intended.

Near the beginning of chapter 6, we find the following quote from Sherlock Holmes: ". . . I have made some inquiries myself in the last few days, but the results have, I fear, been negative. One thing only appears to be certain, and that is that Mr James Desmond, who is the next heir, is an elderly gentleman of a very amiable disposition, so that this persecution does not arise from him. I really think that we may eliminate him entirely from our calculations. . . ."
