Chicago, May 27.—The coroner will be asked today to investigate the death of Homer Edward Morrison, who was involved in a mystery which may rival that of Johann Hoch. Morrison died last Thursday at a hospital of what was diagnosed as acute nephritis, but Dr. Darwin B. Pound, who will direct the inquiry, now suspects his patient was poisoned. The two women have appeared who say they were defrauded by a man named Morrison, who posed as a real estate dealer, and the police have a record of a third woman who claims also to have been victimized.

Mrs. Pearl Devitt, a widow, asserts she gave Morrison $1,600 upon his promise to marry her. This money included her husband's insurance.

The second woman says she was Louise Beck before she married Morrison three years ago at Hillsdale, Mich. She states she gave him $15,000.

Mrs. Devitt appealed to the police on Saturday to find Morrison. She had gone to his rooms at 367 Chicago avenue, where neighbors told her Morrison was dead and that his furniture had been moved out by a woman. The police then found that Morrison had resided at 4919 Winchester avenue, with a woman who says she was his wife. She knew nothing of his apartments on Chicago avenue.

"I thought I was Mrs. Morrison, may be mistaken," she said, "In his pocket after his death I found the Chicago avenue address where I was told his things had been removed by another woman. I know now that there were many women in his life.

He had his photographs taken in large lots and always got rid of them at once."
