After the birth of 4th child, she conducted an affair with Mariposa County's first coroner, Dr. Benjamin Smith Screven, who was married and still had his wife and child living in the east. The affair was known about and caused an estrangement of Mr. Peck. When letters were discovered that indicated possible threats against Mr. Peck, Dr. Screven was confronted at Mt. Ophir by Peck. A gunfight ensued and Screven lay dead. Because of Screven's nature known by the public, Peck was not indicted for the murder. After the incident, Mr. Peck left Mariposa County and later became a successful silver miner in Idaho Territory.
