When Curley finds his wife dead with a broken neck, he immediately knows that it was Lennie. And Curley sets out with his men to get Lennie and eventually kill him. George knows that Curley finding Lennie first would result in Lennie getting beaten and tortured, but if he found him first, he could make sure he didn't suffer. So he ends his life in a much quicker, painless way than it would've been with Curley.
