Sep. 25—A trial began Wednesday for three men facing hate crime and malicious mischief charges for allegedly defacing the "Friendship Fence" in Chehalis earlier this year. The three suspects, identified as Frank John B. Bagley II, 40, of Seattle, Matthew A. Clement, 33, of Centralia, and Gabriel R. Smith-Nilsen, 25, of Driggs, Idaho, were arrested in Centralia early in the morning on Sunday, Feb. 25, after a neighbor saw them defacing the Friendship Fence in Chehalis and followed them as they fled in a dark-colored Subaru station wagon.
