Samuel Lippman, veteran of twenty-seven years in the police department here, died Tuesday night in Miami, Fla. His body is being shipped back for burial.
Mr. Lippman was an inspector and acting chief of police when a paralytic stroke forced his retirement March 20, 1933–a year to the day before the second stroke that brought death. He was scheduled today to be raised to the position of chief, as an act of courtesy so that he could retire with that rank on pension. He was one of the few Jewish high police officials in this country.
Mr. Lippman and his wife, who before their marriage was Miss Nettie Abramowitz, had just celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.
Surviving are Mrs. Lippman; a son Louis, student at Dartmouth; a son Richard, thirteen; twin daughters, Hannah and Miriam, six years old; three brothers, Louis, Si and Reuben, all prominent in Atlantic City affairs; and two sisters, Clara Lippman of this city and Mrs. John Soloff of San Francisco.
