A Curious Experience

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "A Curious Experience" is a Mystery from Wednesday, May 30, 1979.

It's 1862 and a pale, ragged 16-year-old, Robert Wicklow, who claims he's a homeless Southerner, tries to enlist in a Union fort in New London, Connecticut. The major in charge, a man with feelings, permits Wicklow to join the fort's musicians. But soon Wicklow is caught writing suspicious notes and is accused of spying. He finally confesses, but in doing so, implicates half of the fort's troops as well as several prominent townspeople.
