Why does Holmes eliminate mr James desmond from the list of suspects in hound of the baskervilles?

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. . . ."


Are Sherlock Holmes conclusions about Dr James Mortimer correct?

Yes, Sherlock Holmes's conclusions about Dr. James Mortimer in "The Hound of the Baskervilles" are ultimately correct. Holmes deduces that Mortimer is a man of intelligence and integrity, but he is also deeply concerned about the mysterious circumstances surrounding Sir Charles Baskerville's death. While Mortimer initially seems to be a mere messenger, Holmes recognizes that he is genuinely seeking to protect Sir Henry Baskerville from potential danger. This insight allows Holmes to unravel the mystery surrounding the Baskerville estate.
