 New York, Nov. 1.-Charged with soliciting and accepting a Dribe or $500, to hang the jury trying Ed ward T. Rosenheimer, the millionaire for the alleged murder of Miss Grace Hough, by striking her with ms auto mobile, George w. Yeandle, architect, selected as Juror No. ', was arrested, today In default of s10,000 bail, he was remanded to the Tombs for exa- imitation, Thursday. Yeandle was a juror in the trial of Nan Patterson, the beauty of the F1oradora Sextette, when the chorus girl was charSec with the killing of Caesar Young, the wealthy bookmaker. The police say that Yeandle admitted hanging the Patterson jury for a consideration of $500.
 Arrested with Yeand1e was Dago- bert Timondoffer, a builder, charged with being the man who cOnducted the negotiations for the attempted bribery It was Rosenheimer's own attorney, James w. Osborne, who told the story in chambers, to Justice O'Gorman, presiding at the Rosen- heimer trial.

 The Nan Patterson case, revived by today's sensational developments, oc- cured six years ago. The chorus Young, whose friends finally persuad- ed him to take a trip to Europe, where he was to join his wife. Nan Patterson entered a hanson cab with Young on his way to the pier. The cabman told of a quarrel. A shot was fired. Young was found dead. Nan Patterson declared he killed him. self, rather than leave her. The po- lice charged that. she killed him. The evidence against the girl was strong, but the first jury disagreed. It was a member of this jury that Yeandle is said to have accepted $500 for sticking out. A second trial also re- suited in a 'hung" jury, and Nan Patterson freed.
 The statement that Yeandle hung the Nan Patterson jury, will probably cause an investigation into that trial. When the Rosenheimer case was opened, today, Justice O'Eorman an- nounced that, by consent of attorneys for both sides, Juror No. z had been excused. It was noted that Juror No. was Yeandle, who had served on the Patterson jury, which had dis agreed.
 Court officers tried to keep the af- fair quiet. so that it would have no influence on the other Rosenhei CT jurors, and 1t was only when Yeandle and Timondoffer were arraigned, in the Tombs police court, that the facts became known.
 Timondoffer. acting on behalf of Yeandle, visited Attorney James W. Osborne, chief counsel for Rosen- heimer, and one of the leading crim- final attorneys in America. Timon- doffer told Osborne, the attorney charged, that Yeandle had stuck out for an acquittal in the Nan Patterson case, until a mfstrial resulted. Nan Patterson was released after a second trial. "Yeandle hung" that jury for $500 and he is willing to do the same thing for Rosenheimer,'' Timondoffer Is said to have told Osborne. z Osborne, finding that such an offer had been made to him, consented to go on with the negotiations, after in forming Justice O'Gorman, and Dis trict Attorney Whitman, who had urged him to pay the bribe money, and thus secure positive evidence against the men.
 Today, acting. it is stated, under instructions from Osborne, Yeandle and Timondoffer went to the corner of Madison and 35th street. They were told that the money would be paid them by Attorney George A. Knobloch, Osborne's associate in the defense of Rosenh heimer. Detectives Forbes and Gaynor, from the central office, were concealed where they could see all that transpiTNd. Then Yeandle was given $500, in bills that had been marked under the super vision of the court.
 The two prisoners appeared promptly at 1O:2O and approached der from Judge Lacombe of the saw Knobloch pass the money over to them. They immediately placed Yeandle and Timondoffer under ar rest. Yeandle was hurriedly "frisk- ed" and $500 in marked bills were found by the detectives.
 Yeandle and Timondoffer were rushed to the Tombs prison court. where they were charged with viola tion of Section 374, which makes them liable to imprisonment for ten years and a fife of S5,0OO.
 The hearing was brief and the men were remanded to the Tombs for examination, Thursday, and their bonds fixed at $1O,000, in default of which they were locked up.
