Dr.James Mortimer, the friend and medical attendant of the deceased, has given evidence to the same effect.
"The facts of the case are simple.

Sir Charles Baskerville was in the habit every night before going to bed of walking down the famous Yew Alley of Baskerville Hall.

The evidence of the Barrymores shows that this had been his custom.

On the 4th of May Sir Charles had declared his intention of starting next day for London, and had ordered Barrymore to prepare his luggage.

That night he went out as usual for his nocturnal walk, in the course of which he was in the habit of smoking a cigar.
