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. . . ."
