Samuel Brocato, formerly of 210 Maryland Street, Buffalo, N.Y., has a record of arrests dating back to 1935. He has done time for counterfeiting, and has been arrested for robbery, first degree, assault, third degree, and numerous petty offenses. Brocato has been closely associated with Anthony Perna of Buffalo.
