 W. G. Krirhmel, game warden, found Dortha's body in stagnant Cypress creek yesterday. Monday night Stuart reported to police she had been Kidnapped. A few hours before he brought the twin tots new shoes, dressed them in pink dresses, and took them to the movies.
 Later, he told police, the child. ren went to sleep in his car. He drove to the creek carried the still sleeping Dortha to the bank and held her under water until she drowned, A month ago, police learned, he took out an insurance policy for $500 on Dortha's life.
 T decided to kill Dortha. bury her body, and use the insurance money to support my other daugh- ter, Dorth.'' he said in a statement he signed for police.
 Hubert Page, county health off, cer, who performed an autopsy on Dortha's body, said there was no water in the lungs and stomach. but there was evidenve she had died of caustic poison. Her lips were burned.

New York, July 25.-(UP)-En- thusiasm disappeared from the stock market today as prices took on a steady to firm tone.
 Recent heavy liquidation. which had forced prices to new lows TOT the year, had left many traders or the opinion that a technical eally was due. But today's f1rmness was far from a rallying movement.
 The onlyt real activity in the market came in mid morning selling burst as additional weakly margined accounts were sold out.
 Wall street during the day had numerous worries, including:
 Outbreak of rioting and govern mental difficulties in Austria.
 Continued drought in the mld- dIewest which had not been very seriously considered by the finan- cial district generally until the last two days.
 Unfavorable railroad earning re- ports; slight increase in electric power output; dip in steel produc- ton as announced by Iron Age with the trade publication enum- erating several disturbing factors before the industry at the moment.
 Meanwhile, the speech of Joseph P. Kennedy. chairman of the 'se- curities commission. in Washing ton, came so late the market had little opportunity to reflect senti- ment.
 Stocks however did reflect the better tone in grains where wheat u,oe nm mora than a cent A buShel and corn as much as 2 cents on buying induced by prolongation of the drought. Cotton was slightly improved but the bond market was unsettled by liquidation of specula- tive rails.
 Prior to the firmness in the mar ket a long list of leaders had es- ta blished new 1894 lows.
