Terry Lyons, the bank's president, and William Bostleman, a bank vice president, each are charged with one count of complicity to pass bad checks. They are accused of falsely telling an out-of-state firm that Hahn's business checks drawn on an account at the Miamisburg bank at 515 E. Central Ave.

would be honored. Lyons also was Indicted on one count of perjury for allegedly lying under oath while testifying to a Montgomery County grand jury Friday In connection with an investigation of Hahn's car dealership. Lyons and Bostleman could not be reached for comment yesterday. But charges against them were filed along with a 29-count indictment against Hahn, who is accused of. stealing cars or paying for them with bad checks, and of falling to turn over titles to cars he sold.

Hahn Is charged with 15 counts of passing bad checks, nine counts of auto title violations, three counts of securing writings by deception, and two counts of grand theft. He has been under Investigation since October, when the dealership at 90 Loop Road closed. Charges against Hahn stem from transactions al- legedly made by him or other Contemporary Dodge employees between Aug. 31 and Sept. 14.

Theodore Shaman, head of the prosecutor's consumer frauds section, said those alleged transactions have resulted in more than $200,000 in cash losses toother car dealerships and private individuals. Shaman said the Chrysler Credit Corp. financed most of Hahn's new car business, and "we believe that they lost a lot of money in the hundreds of, thousands of dollars."

James Rhodes last night confirmed that he will retire from politics and enter an undisclosed business venture when his term expires in January 1983. "We're not going to run for anything," the 72-year-old governor said. It had been widely speculated in recent weeks that Rhodes, the nation's oldest governor, might make a bid for his old Job of state auditor, which is up for grabs this year in Ohio's statewide elections.

Rhodes said that at this point in his life, he is more interested "in my family and everything else." Rhodes is finishing an unprecedented fourth term as governor. He cannot, under the state Constitution, serve three consecutive terms. He was chief executive from 1963-71 and sat out one term before returning in January 1975. He said he planned to release a formal statement regarding his political plans this morning, but did not anticipate a news conference. By Bill Fox and Ron Carter SIDNEY "We had to try this or we were faced with not having the programs, because we are in a financial crisis." That's the way Sidney Athletic Director John Wolfinger summed it up yesterday after the school board adopted a plan requiring athletes to pay a fee to participate, the first such action in the Miami Valley.

"I think this might be a trend at other schools also," Wolfinger said. "I've had a number of calls from other school systems about the possibility of doing this." The participation fee schedule, passed Monday by the Sidney school board, goes into effect next school year. The board also eliminated nine coaching positions (four high school assistants and five seventh-grade coaches) in order to cut the expenses of the financially troubled programs. The board also accepted the recommendations of Superintendent John Forbeck and cut 31 staff member positions and agreed to apply for a state loan. Forbeck said students in grades nine through 12 will have to pay $25 per sport, or a maximum of $50 a school year.

Eighth-grade students will have to pay $15 per sport, or a maximum of $30. Seventh-grade sports will be eliminated altogether, he said. Although Sidney may be the first to adopt an athletic fee schedule, several schools in the Dayton area have been faced with hard times in recent years in regards to funding extracurricular activities. Miamisburg and Jefferson Twp. school systems have accepted aid from parents' organizations, while Valley View High School eliminated all extracurricular activities for one year.

Wolfinger said the fees are being projected to cover about 50 percent of next year's coaching salaries, the main extracurricular expense the school board has to cover. Coaching salaries at Sidney this year cost the school board $52,000. But Wolfinger said that figure should be reduced to $39,000 by the coaching cuts. It would be further reduced to $26,000 by income from the participation fees. The combination of the two measures should reduce the school board's obligation by about 50 percent, Wolfinger said.

(AP) They found Martha "Sunny" von Bulow face down on the cold white marble floor of her luxurious bathroom on Dec. 21, 1980. On a sweltering July day seven months later, her husband, Claus, surrounded by swarm of reporters, walked stiffly Into a Providence courthouse. There he entered a plea of Innocent to charges that he twice tried to kill his wife with injections of insulin.

The state alleged he plunged her Into brief coma in 1979, then Into a second, lasting coma, from which she is not expected to recover, In 1980. The motives, the state argued, were as old as crime itself: greed and lust. Von Bulow stood to inherit $14 million from his wife's $75 million fortune and wanted to be free to marry his lover, a former soap opera actress, the prosecution alleged. Yesterday, a Superior Court Jury found von Bulow, 55, guilty. The tall, aloof defendant sat impassively with his hands folded as Jury forewoman Barbara Connett twice declared "Guilty" after 36 hours of delibera the panel It did "not have to solve a mystery." But a mystery It was.

The drama was played out at Clarendon Court, the walled mansion overlooking Rhode Island Sound on Newport's Millionaires Row, where the couple spent summers and weekends away from their apartment on New York City's EJfth Avenue. It was on Christmas visits to the estate in 1979 and 1 1980 that Mrs. von Bulow, now 50, fell Into comas. (See Von Bulow on Page 5) tions over six days. Outside, crowds cheered the 55-year-old von Bulow and chanted, "Free Claus." They booed the prosecutor and shouted, "Not guilty!" Von Bulow, a Danish businessman who stepped into a fairytale world of wealth with his marriage to Martha 15 years ago, could be sentenced to 40 years in prison.

Judge Thomas Needham allowed him to remain free on $100,000 bond pending an April 2 hearing. Before giving the case to the Jury, Needham told h4 rCis mi Von Bulow VfednesdayPeople to help balance its 1 0.9 million fiscal 1983 budget. Page S.
