George Eilperin (December 27, 1895 - November 3, 1963) was a Republican politician and a Justice on the New York Supreme Court.

Biography[edit]

Originally from Brooklyn, Eilperin was the son of Samuel and Bella Eiplerin, who were supporters of the Republican Party.[1] Eilperin attended Manual Training High School.[2] He graduated from Columbia University and Brooklyn Law School, graduating in 1917. Eilperin began his career in the Internal Revenue Service, working as Chief Field Deputy of the Brooklyn office.[3] He was the youngest deputy in the Service.[4] In this position he investigated the income taxes of Representative John A. Quayle and Democratic politician Edward J. Riegelmann.[5] He also collected $161,000 in unreported profits from boxing promoter J. Humbert Fugazy.[6] He resigned from the job in 1926 to practice law in a partnership with Harold L. Turk.[6] The following year he was elected Republican leader of the 14th Assembly District, in a contested election against Benjamin Moskowitz.[7] His victory was later unsuccessfully challenged by Moskowitz, on the grounds that Eilperin was not a resident of the 14th A.D.[8] In 1929, Eilperin was involved in a Brooklyn Supreme Court case brought by a coal company against his brother Jacob Eilperin, a city magistrate. It was alleged that Jacob had been involved in George Eilperin's attempt to purchase a coal company, despite Jacob's role as a public official. George Eilperin testified in defense of his brother. Jacob lost the case and was fined $6570 for his failure to follow the contract he had signed with Meyer Coal Company.[9] John P. O'Brien appointed Eilperin Commissioner of Taxes and Assessments in 1933.[10] In 1946 he was named chairman of the Law Committee of the Kings County Republican Committee.[11] Eilperin received a bipartisan nomination to the position of City Court judge in 1948, succeeding George J. Joyce.[12] In 1958, he was made a Justice of the New York Supreme Court, replacing George Arkwright.[13] He died at his house, 57 Montague Street, Brooklyn, following gall bladder surgery.[14]
