I think you've hit the nail on the head. With the Gravedigger they both had to fall back on their own resources in order to save their lives. There was nothing to feel morally guilty about.
Epps forced them to kill, feel responsible for his victims and question who they really were. I think he would definitely claimvictory in his own death. He escaped not only Booth's grasp but the executioner's.
