WIRE TAPER TRIES TO COMMIT SUICIDE Witness Against Priests Ner- vOus Over Failure in
 Court Test.

New York, July 26.-John Kennel, a detective attached to the wire tap ping squad of the police department, attempted suicide today by shooting himself through the breast in the room used by the squad in a down town office building.
 Kennel was a witness in the John Doe inquiry which has been invesM gating charges that Catholic priests conspired to obstruct justice during the recent Investigation into charit able institutions and during which the police tapped the wires of certain clergymen.
 Kennel was taken to a hospital in a critical condition. He was one of the detectives who "listened in" on the telephones of Rev. Daniel Potter, Monsignor John Dunn and others involved in the charges and recorded so-called phOnograms of their con versations.
 On Thursday last Kennel was sub mitted to asetest before Justice Green baum, presiding at the investigation as to his proficiency in recording con- versation. Justice Greenbaum called the test failure but afterWard announced that he would give Kennel another oppor- tunity to prove his proficiency. This test was to have been held today or tomorrow. The detective had ex- planned that he was nervous and eX- cited when the first test was made
 According to fellow detectives who were with him today in the wire tap ping room Kennel was again very nervous and suddenly jumped to his feet exclaiming "Oh the failure of this thing to go through! If it does not it will drive me mad"
 He then went behind the partition and moment later shot himself The original phonograms taken down by Kennel were used as the basis of the charges in the John Doe investigation.
