RE: Your guess: "angels" or "ages?"
Thanks, Anita and Betty. I found a New York Times article dated 12/7/1930, titled "A New Version of the Greatest Man Hunt: Major O'Beirne's Diary, Recently Brought to Light, Describes The Difficulties of the Chase After Lincoln's Assassination."

"Some heretofore unrecorded details of one of the greatest manhunts in American history are set forth in the Stanton order and other original documents which recently have come into the possession of John J. Madigan of 12 East 47 Street, New York."

O'Beirne had conducted Andrew Johnson "to the house opposite Ford's Theater, where the President lay unconscious and dying...As soon as the President was dead O'Beirne returned to the Kirkwood House."

Does anyone know where O'Beirne's diary is located now?
