BOSCOMBE POOL MAP
Holmes, Lestrade and Watson route
Sherlock Homes arrived at Hatherly Farm and asked the young servant to let him see the boots worn by Charles McCarty at the time of his death and also his son's boots, to study very carefully their size and shape, and then asked to see the back of the house to Boscombe pool
They went down a path and Sherlock Homes noticed that the side of the farm had denser and taller trees, in addition to the fact that the ground was damp and soft and they could see some footprints of several people, but he managed to distinguish three paths of characteristic footprints, those of Charles McCarty, those of his son when he walked downstairs, and when he ran upstairs because the footprints were stronger, and those of a third person who apparently walked on tiptoe with quite unusual square-toed boots.
Sherlock Holmes deduced that the footmarks' guilty were in opposite directions because the killer had to pick up the gray coat that young James McCarty had seen near his father's body
He followed the trail and came to a giant tree where he found some cigarette butts which he kept carefully, as well as a large rough stone that was between some leaves.
Holmes deduced that with that stone the killer had killed Mr. McCarty, because there was grass under it (grass does not grow under stones)
Holmes based on the report of the injuries also deduced that the murderer was left-handed, in addition to knowing that the murderer smokes Indian cigarettes, due to his knowledge of cigarettes
Holmes then followed the footprints to a path where they disappeared.
Holmes deduced that the murderer was lame, as Holmes could see from the footprints that the guilty leaned less on his right foot
Finally, Sherlock Holmes concluded that the murderer must have been a tall man, due to the distance between the footprints.
