Aug 18 (Reuters) - Authorities in Maryland on Friday removed a statue of a
19th century Chief Justice who wrote the pro-slavery Dred Scott decision in
the latest example of action over memorials that have sparked protests
across the United States.
Crews in state capital Annapolis hitched straps overnight to the 145-year-
old bronze statue outside State House and lifted it from its base with a
crane, according to media reports and social media postings.
