As Patrolmen Thornton and Devers passed the Lorraine hotel, 1614 Broadway, at 12:30 this morning, they saw a man standing on the second landing of the fire escape, which extends outside the building. the patrolmen thought this odd and to make sure, arrested the man. He gave his name as C. W. Rice and said that he was looking for a friend, who had a room in the hotel. A bunch of skeleton keys and a flashlight were found in the pockets of the prisoner.
