    This man was named "Split the Wind" because he used to go very fast on the road.
    There was a doubt of him making (poitin).
    One day he wrote a letter to the police without puting any name or address on it as it was spying about "Split the Wind" and telling them that he was going to town with a crib of turf the following day and that he was to have a load of poitin in the middle of the turf and to have a watch at him.
