I find with the old German script it is usually impossible to do word searches. I'll ask my friend Joerg Nagler, a Lincoln scholar at the Frederick Schiller University in Jena, Germany, to help with translation.
Many thanks for posting this.

Don, the engraving of the assassination is on page 913 of the fourth volume. There are also engravings of the funeral in that volume (I didn't record the page numbers), and this one of the capture of Booth which I've seen before as a tri-language lithograph.
