It's fascinating observing Otto's mounting paranoia, and his increased ready willingness to drift to the dark side, as the story progresses. At first - before he winds up going into free fall - he's sincerely remorseful, and intensely upset and disturbed with himself, for having committed - unintentionally - murder. As the hours/days wear on, however, and he - and wife Alma - gets to becoming internally more "crazy", wondering if Father Logan is going to rat on him, it ever-increasingly rattles his/their brain(s), he eventually simply strictly cares about beating the rap, and may - and I think does (for a while, at least) - feel bad that Fr. Logan is under suspicion, but views it as a necessary means to an end - which he embraces fully.

The dynamic of escalating sheer paranoia is extremely well portrayed. O.E. Hasse as Otto and Dolly Haas as Alma give superb performances.
