Yeah, intent....I'll have to see early 1897 to know of course, but if he did leave bodies in his wake then, as well as that relative later on, then perhaps the big difference in Barnabas between 1967 and 1897 is that he's cut back on mayhem a little, and with the rest, has gotten better at rationalizing.
I know he's in a difficult spot, being a vampire, and I used to hate it when characters such as Julia would "just say no" to him. But he knew he'd be a vampire in 1897... I'm guessing he did. If he hadn't made that difficult choice the series wouldn't be the interesting thing that it is, but he had to know he'd end up killing people.
If Lydia is right about conscience awakening Sarah, then perhaps his relatively clear conscience in 1897, because he's on an 'heroic mission', despite what he does, IS the reason there's no Sarah ghost. Rationalization as exorcism.
