““In many States it is held that a verdict of guilty of a lesser included offense on an indictment charging a more serious crime is an acquittal of all *? grades of the offense above that of which the defendant was found guilty. Authorities from many States are collected in 61 A.L.R.2d 1141 . Since 1957, with the decision of Green v. United States, 355 U.S. 184 , 78 S.Ct. 221 , 2 L.

Norvell, 10 Tenn. 24 , to the present time, Saunders v. State, 208 Tenn. 347 , 345 S.W.2d 899 .” King v. State, 216 Tenn. 215 , 391 S.W. 2d 637 .”
