He resigned from the Iowa Supreme Court to accept an appointment by President Dwight Eisenhower to a seat on the United States Tax Court. He retired on April 30, 1966, but was recalled to perform further judicial duties, continuing in that capacity until December 31, 1970.[2][4]

Mulroney married Martha O'Connor in 1929.[2]
