In Chapter Fourteen, Watson believes they have enough evidence to arrest Stapleton, but Holmes does not agree. Holmes notes that hearing a hound doesn't mean the hound was responsible for either death (Sir Charles or Selden). As far as Holmes is concerned, Selden's death remains the result of a fall, and Sir Charles' death is attributed a fright. He cannot lonk a motive, thus, he disagrees with Watson.
