any kind — no blood-spot whatever. I had been too wary for that. A tub had caught all" this shows that he was very weary for what he was doing. You realized how the text was in his POV this is most likely because it made him look very very smart and how he knew what he was doing.

In the text it says "It took me an hour to place my head within the opening so far that i could see him lay upon his bed" " Yet the sound increased - and what could i do? It was a low, dull, quick sound- much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton."

"I then replaced the boards so 
cleverly, so cunningly, that no human eye — not even his — could have 
detected any thing wrong." This shows how he is calculated in his work, however, "But anything 
was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this 
derision!" This evidence shows him going insane due to the guilt in his head. -OW, RC

He wanted to kill him for his eye. He had no problem with the man, mainly the eye. "I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, thus, get rid myself of that eye forever".

"Oh God! what could I do? I foamed - I raved - I swore!" This quote shows that something caused him to foam from the mouth, foaming from the mouth is not normal.

"placed my own seat upon the very spot beneath which reposed the corpse of the victim.", "I kept quite still and said nothing. For a whole hour I did not move a muscle".

He also didn't exactly plan the murder, and chopped him up and put him in the floor board.
